It's a useful jacket. I wear it every day. I'm satisfied.
Bought these to replace my Velox L5 that tore and are no longer in production.
Pros:
- nicely form fitting without restricting
-move extremely well and don’t pinch
-very VERY breathable (pro or con depending)
-material is very lightweight but has been tough
-belt loops are superb
-internal phone storage in front right pocket is the best I have ever used
Cons:
-quite loud, especially if running. just a constant chaffing sound that you do get used to
-not at all a fan of the semi-elastic drawstring; hard to use and gets in the way of zipping the pants up
-the boot hooks cinch way too tight on your ankle to be worth the discomfort
- the front zipper and button seem to be off center? cause weird feeling when wearing a belt
-one single back pocket is strange and unnecessary but not a big deal because front pockets are very good
-i’ve always worn 32 waist and these 32’s are more like 33-34 but I wouldn’t downsize; fits very well with a belt or even the drawstring without squeezing your legs
Overall a great climbing, running, or semi-formal pant if you can deal with the not-too-obnoxious noise. Definitely recommend an elastic belt like an Arcade Atlas (the belt I use).
Perfect layer for when it's really cold or a stand alone when it's a bit warmer not my favorite zipper but it makes sense the chose a finer toothed one to save weight
It has been perfect for layering and is super easy to pack up. Adds so much extra warmth
Was not sure if I would like the shirt. It kept me cool and comfortable. Happy with my purchase.
