There are a fair few cube style jackets now,these look good.
I hope to review the mythic ultra and mythic G in the near future too.
The Retro X does not sound too comfy with the coating, i like the style with the pocket though. On the other hand it looks quite boxy. Would be good to know if you can use the retro pile as a jacket in autumn.
It is different, and it does have some room in it for layers. I think that it would be a good fall jacket, but I think that it would be best with a fleece under it.
Thank you for your awesome video. How does this one differ from the Beta SL? Thank you.
The Beta lightweight is the same as the SL. They just changed the name from lightweight to SL
sick fade in on the intro bro.
🙂
Can you fit a iPhone in the chest pocket?
I don't have an Iphone, but I think that it would fit. It's tall enough, but I wonder about the width as the bottom of the pocket is tapered unlike the top.
Lot of people drag down the zip-neck version of R1 Air compared to Full-Zip Hoody. Don’t agree with them. This is a 2nd layer fleece, not jacket. For me, hood is just a nuisance. As for sizing, depends on the person. I am 195cm,110kg, athletic build and XL is great for me. XXL is to wide around my abdomen. As if it is designed for people with large stomach
The full zip, compared to 1/2 zip, are all different options that we can choose from. Something for everyone.🙂
What about the beta down jacket? Iwhich has 4 adjustments?
I have not tried the Beta down, need to save my pennies. 🙂
What about the beta down insulated jacket? That is the one jacket do all kind of jacket. Warm and waterproof in winter. I have the beta long to pair with thorium hoody during wet winter when thorium can wet out. Definitely fit tighter with both together. Should I trade in the beta/thorium and get the beta down?
I do have another video about the Beta insulated jacket. I also own the Rhodium, a great winter jacket.
@@meandmyjackets I watched that but it is not the down version..
Great review.
Thank you for watching. I hope to have more yeti videos on the future.
You are my go-to source for Patagonia jacket and fleece reviews and size suggestions. Keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much, I'm trying.🙂
Didn’t think I could tell until i got a pair of Vuarnet mineral glass lenses… Maui brilliant is a decent polycarbonate but to have a lens that never scratches and is never going to not give you great clarity is valuable. 1 scratch permanently distorts your vision. Also you can wipe glass lenses with any thing it doesn’t have to be micro fiber as again it won’t scratch.
Thank you for your input, I looked at their website. I am happy to learn more about their glasses.
Great video! I love how you use the screen behind you to show close ups! Very helpful and informative! Good job and thank you.
Thank you for watching, I am hoping to do more videos about Yeti products in the future.
These 2 jacket have different stiche pattern outside, he says they are identical !They are different in price ,different in weight.
Chris, good day! Please tell me, can the Rab latok mountain gtx jacket let water into the pockets through the ykk zippers?
Hey just wanted to ask how warm do you think the jacket is especially if you're just wearing a t-shirt underneath? And how has it held up is the quality and durability good?
The jacket by itself is not really meant for any warmth, as it is just a hardshell. It will however help to hold some warmth in when wearing an insulation layer or a fleece under it. Also, blocking any cold wind that may penetrate through a insulating jacket. As far as it's durability, I can't really say, I only had it a short period of time to do the videos. But it seams to be a well made product from Patagonia, as with many of their other hardshells. I'm sure it will hold up well. If you want a tougher shell,more durable with a heavier material, there are other choices. But this was nice.
@@meandmyjacketsthank you for clearing that up for me : )
Just returned my recent purchase of Seacliff model for these,,,, so much lighter and more comfortable,,,, only wish mine were the black frames,,, but love them already! good video thanks!
They are really nice. Surprisingly lightweight.
Is this something you can compare with 40gsm insulated jacket or more like 60gsm or higher ?
More like the 60gsm, as that is the weight of the insulation it has in the shoulder and hood areas. But I may even say that it may be even warmer than that.
These hybrid insulation jackets seem Like the future… best of both worlds
Lovely fit on it.
Cortazu really does have nice stuff. I like it a lot.
The basic one would be enough for me in the UK
Looks a little loose at the bottom for me, Arc'teryx tend to fit me a little better.
Thanks as always!
What colour is the first product?
My Cerium LT is a color called Proteus
Great work man, your content is just great!
Thank you, I'm doing my best.🙂
Whenever I have curiosity about jackets, whenever I am confused between couple different outdoor garments, whenever I need to clarify the differences between different jackets, there are always answers in this channel.
What kind of shampoo and hair treatment do you use? You have such nice hair.
Literally ive 1.5x your video, but really great content. I want red colour so shall be buying from their website directly. Hope there's no better than this. The only concern is about the size. I wear medium size t shirt , should i get medium jacket or a larger one. Really really great explanation. Thanks for this. Can you help me select the size ?? Chest is 38.
does the jacket keep some warmth?
I'm sure that it will help a little, but it is so light. I would say that its biggest strength is blocking the wind, and keeping you warmer that way, by not allowing the cold air through to you insulating layers.
Can i get rose lens with silver or gold mirror coating on it? What would you suggest between bronz and rose if i have to enhance vview with out dimming the surrounding
Hi, I’m looking for a new goretex shell. - Needs to have helmet compatible hood - At least one chest/napoleon style pocket - pitzips for ventilation - as light as possible Recommendations? Price is irrelevant
Dig it!!
What are your thoughts about layering a non-hooded jacket on top of a hooded insulation? I am looking at purchasing Gamma SL but cannot decide which one I should get between a hoody and a jacket in terms of layering.
I like doing that, one of my favorite combinations in winter is the Atom LT hoody under the Gamma MX jacket (with no hood). But, I would say to get the hooded version of the Gamma SL. It's a light weight jacket that is more versatile with the hood. In my opinion. Plus the hood is really light weight, (not a big helmet compatible hood), and I have not had a problem wearing it in top of another hooded jacket like an Atom or Proton. The hooded version is also nice stand alone in warmer days, and having the hood is nice if you need it.
Thanks for the video again! Do you have a video about comparison between Gamma SL hoody and Gamma SL jacket?
No, as far as I know they are the same with the exception of the hood.
can you zip it all the way up with the hood down so we can see what that looks like?
Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I'll keep it in mind for future videos.🙂
would be good if you could zip these jackets all the way up with the hood down so we could see what that looks like.
I will try to do so in future videos. Thank you for the suggestion.
What are the main differences between the Kawai Channel and the Kanaio Coast? They look very similar.
They are very similar, just the kaiwi channel are a bit more rounded, not as rectangular. Also the frame design and colors are a bit different.
Hi... Are these bi-gradient? How can I tell if a Maui Jim Sunglass is bi-gradient?
The glasses that I have that are with mirrored lenses such as these are not bi-gradient. My Sharks Cove with the Lava mirror is however a gradient lens. My other Maui Jim's with the neutral grey, HCL bronze, and Maui Rose are bi-gradient. You can see it clearly in those lenses.
Is Sima Hoody somewhat similar with Cormac Hoody?
Yes, I believe that they are very similar.
Liked every video of yours that i watched. I really appreciate your doing this.
Awesome, thanks for watching!🙂
Thanks for the nice analysis. Just a tip for future videos... Sit closer to the camera so we can see close up of the glasses on your face, and be more brief and efficient. Try condense a video like this in to 5 minutes.
Thank you for your input, I'll keep that in mind for my future videos.🙂
Thanks for your review. It's refreshing to find a reviewer who understands what the use case is for each jacket. To those bemoaning the omission of pockets, buy a different jacket. There's plenty of choice on the market. The absence of features is a plus. If you put phones in jacket pockets running trails they bounce around. If you're running trails for any distance you'll have a race vest/belt with you for food, water, phone, layers, overnight gear. Stripping features away from jackets like this means that they're lighter weight, pack smaller, have fewer seams to fail, the fit is closer, pockets impact breathability/packability as they're another layer. Plus, more features/pockets/stretch cuffs means the jacket holds water, takes longer to dry, and as such is heavier - you'll understand this after you've been out for 2 or 3 days RUNNING in wet conditions in Scotland, Lake District Fells, PNW. RIP the previous Arcteryx Norvan SL Shakedry version, now THAT was a laser focused pinnacle of trail running jacket royalty.
Hi, Thank you for your support, and all the helpful insights. This is very helpful.
Very helpful video, thank you. Rab Vital arrived today and I'm very happy with it.
Awesome, Thank you for watching the video.
For regular city use and occasional outdoor adventures, would you recommend Beta LT or Beta better?
+1
LT
Fantastic video! Thank you so much! 🙏
Thank you for watching. I hope that it helped you.🙂
Great review!! thak you!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video, Chris. Do you know the years in which both jackets were made?
Hi, the white jacket was from last summer (2023). The green one is older, either 2019 0r 2020.
Thank you for this thorough review! I just got this jacket and I’m super excited ☺️
Nice, I hope that you get a lot of good use out of it.🙂
Wish I had your hairline ;)
I always found the Beta's AR collar and hood combination a big turn-off and didn't understand why they did it only for this model.
It is different, but I don't think that it is that bad. However, I would tend to agree with you that they storm hood is better in most use cases.
Would you say this is the best (compared to the Beta lightweight and Beta AR) for in-city/day-to-day wear? I think the other two would be more so for actual hiking, climbing since it has pit zips and helmet compatible hood.
I would agree that the Beta jacket would be a great choice for everyday urban use. I have another video coming out soon that compares the three Beta's.
