Fantastic Shell but be careful on sizing

Written on Apr 09, 2015

I'll start with sizing. I'm 6'1" and 175 lbs. Tall and lanky. Normally I wear size large when it comes to shirts and jackets. I had to return the large I ordered because it was incredible bulky. I think you have to be about 200lbs to fit correctly. Thankfully, Campsaver is great about exchanges and I had a size medium on its way in no time. The medium fits great. If you're lanky like me, it's still no problem to drop down to a size medium because the sleeves are manufactured on the long side for mobility while climbing.

As for the jacket, it's everything you've already read about on all the review sites. Super light, comes with a compression sack, very durable, and the size medium fits me great. I have room to add layers but it's not too bulky. Looks good too. I thought about getting a Beta LT, but I'm glad I went with this. Significantly cheaper, and all I'm really missing out on are hand warmer pockets. I'm taking this and the Rab Xenon X as my setup for backpacking the Alps.

Great product

Super light
Easy to fold into itself (stuffs into its own pocket)
Repels water reasonably well.
Fits well. Not too tight to allow for layers, not to bulky so that you don't feel like the michelin man.
Comfortable material
