Extreme cold environments are usually dry and sunny. Wind resistance and insulation are generally a higher priority than protection from rain. Depending on whether your activity is more static or active, high-loft layers like an L7 may be required.
Awesome lightweight jacket, very durable and well made.
The rig light, a tweave durastretch fabric, is the ultimate fabric. It is different than the rig ULT, the rig, and an older Brokk pant tweave durastretch fabrics. Although I ordered a 36 Long, I received a Large Long. The large long fits me quite well (I’m 6’ 200lbs.). For my intended use of these pants, I could do without the knee pad inserts and the ankle gaiter. I feel the leg could be tapered below the knee for a slimmer, or less baggy, fit.
I don’t think these shorts could be improved upon. The rig light fabric is fantastic. The gray color I ordered is quite nice. The side leg pocket cover is a little easier to slip your hand in to as compared to the rig light pants. Although I order a 36 when purchasing pants/shorts from Beyond, I receive a Large. The Large fits me very well (6’ 200 lbs). I am tempted to purchase another pair.
This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. It has plenty of pockets and provides the layer needed. A must have for those in the northeast!
just got my jacket and couldt be more pleased. initially the fit wasnt right but beyond exchanged and set me straight. i love how it layers nicely with undershirts/clothing and allows free movement of my arma
