The half gal jug costs 35 bucks more than half gal bottle, i looked this up like a minute ago cause i was curious, the jugs look really cool tho i wish i had a use for one

Great video! I’m really happy with the beta out here in the Pacific Northwest.

Great video! I’ve just got the Rab Mythic Alpine which is the next best thing after the Mythic G and I can 100% recommend for those who can’t quite afford the the G. It’s slightly heavier, 900FP and no tilt lining but incredibly similar in its features. I have the Mythic 600 sleeping bag as well and I just don’t think I’ll look anywhere else for warmth to weight ratio now. So warm, so light and so technical. Rab have smashed it with the Mythic series!

My jacket and I

my main activity is 🐕🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺~walking 😜😜😜😜😜😜

Have you reviewed the ghost whisperer 2, the The Stellar Ultralight Down 2.0 or any Montbell jackets? They’re all known to be incredibly light and warm.

Nice videos, would like to see the information on the jackets in the description with their prices and a link. You should also try to label each jacket on the video when speaking about it. Keep it up. 👍🏼

Thanks for reviewing and sharing your experience. I have the Rab Mythic Ultra and it’s unbelievably great too. It has 900 fill power down, not 850 😊

Such a great video. Thanks so much for the help!

Is the rab generator alpine jacket better than the rab cirrus ultra ?

lol I’ve bought like six jackets in the last few months after coming across your channel. Those Rei and Black Friday sales are too tempting.

What a great review, very detailed, saved me from a wrong purchase and having to send it it back. Didnt get the info from patagonias site or shops pages even tho i looked at them in detail. Thank you!

the Rab Mythic G on you is really cool! it looks like cyberpunk

Awesome video !!! Subscribed ! I learned aomething new...Mapping, Ive heard about it, now I know what it means...Thanks 👍 I'm really trying to research before i biy now, ao plan on watching alot of yor videos.... Arc'teryx jacketa look nice, but an expensive brand..Im probably looing at one of the upper weight Rab jackets...

I got the Kryos on sale and sized up to XXL, from my normal XL in Arc. It's much warmer than the Alpha Lightweight Parka, which is the only piece from Arc'teryx that has disappointed me. No need for this one, but when my Nuclei FL dies I'll get this to replace it.

So I got one of these. I am normally a Large in ME kit but sized up to an XL so I could use as a belay and layer under. I also found the Large to be slightly tight in the mid-rift. So the general advice is if you want to use this as an alpine style jacket over a base layer and layer under a waterproof shell choose your normal size otherwise size up. It is super warm and you can actually feel it warm you up from the moment you put it on. Amazing piece.

Thanks for another great review. I'm always happy to see you reviewing the pieces I am interested in. How does this compare to Rab Alpha Flash? It looks very similar. Which one is warmer and which one is more breathable in your opinion?

Keep the Mountain Equipment reviews coming! It’s hard to find info on their sizing and fit

I find British brands, Rab and ME, run a bit smaller than US-based companies. I really wish ME would publish the Aetherm wight, ie: how many g/m2 of insulation they use. I also wish ME offered the Oreus in brighter colors, along with belay pants.

I want one :) But I already have so many fleece and light jackets

Pretty common to have to size up for puffy if you plan to wear it over other layers. I am size S and a half in most American/Canadian brands but all the ME and Rab stuff fits me perfectly in size M. I think most Euro companies run on the slim side compared to US/CAN

Thank you for the video.

Can’t imagine there’s many of these in the US! Very cool jacket. Enjoy Chris

Hi how would this compare to das light and nucel Fl ? Thanks great channel!

Mythic alpine is better. This jacket is pointless. Just a flex

Why get synthetic instead of down? Pound for pound, which is warmer?

After watching I just received a women’s version today - on sale on Arc website. I bought it to cut the spring/fall winds off of Lake Ontario. Look classy. Soooooo soft. And my version has a hidden hood zipped into the collar. Tx. Lin/Niagara

Honestly the best jacket reviews, no fluff, no filler, just answers to all the things I’d like to know before buying. Great job!

my worst jacket. the mythic ultra is 30 times warmer.

Hi, how would you compare the warmth of this Atom Heavyweight to the Cerium hoody? Does one fit better under a gamma hoody? I have a beta AR too but my gamma hoody is used more day to day. My gamma felt kind of tight in the arms when I tried the cerium underneath in store, unfortunately they didn’t have the heavyweight in stock.

Thank you for such a thorough review. I’m also a fan of Mauii Jim sunglasses and have had a bronze pair for probably 15 years now. Even been swimming with them on. They’re still good. Recently, I bought a whole set with olive green, bronze, grey and blue mirror. Reason being that I have been advised to wear sunglasses as much as I can by an optician to protect my eyes. In the UK, our weather goes from really dark grey to blazing sun and then I go on cruises to much hotter and brighter weather and having the choice to suit the weather is actually really useful. The most used here are the olive greens because we often get grey weather with very occasional breaks. Great for driving. The bronze are good for bright/changeable days but actually the blue mirrored work well too. Grey for really bright. They are darker. I like them so much that I’m thinking now about getting a Rose just to complete the set!

A fleece with a windproof layer on top is such a great combo. This one looks really nice. I have been using the r1 air under a wind shell recently.

Very informative review! I was leaning towards the AlpLight jacket but the sizing is funky (slim fit). Size M - just right in chest and body, but arm and jacket length short. Size L - arm and jacket length are good, but chest and body too roomy. I settled on the Down Sweater in size M. Fits great all around (regular fit).

Hi Chris, Another great video very informative. Would you say that the Arc’Teryx Gamma Hoody is one the best Softshell jackets, as I’m thinking of buying one. Thanks

Very informative. This helped me decide the size of bottle I needed. Thank you.

Gamma SL is cut bigger because it’s designed for layering underneath 👍

I just ordered a Solano womans jacket. On sale at Arc online. Plan to wear it spring and fall to cut winds off Lake Ontario. This version has a stow away hood zippered into the collar. Gives it a clean, classy look.

One of your best yet!

why don't you say thhs it'd s chheesp jacket

The proper pronunciation is ba-lay.

Big fan, great jacket 👌

Thank you for creating this video. It’s awesome!

I am taking my son snowmobiling in Breck the week of Christmas. Is that a warm jacket for Snowmobiling? I have no idea yet what the temps will be but he is going around 2pm if that gives you an idea :)

Very shiny inside

I love your videos. Keep it up.

Hey Chris, I’ve been watching your channel for years. I really appreciate what you do! Anywho, Do you know the name of color you have here in the Gamma Lt jacket? Is it Odyssea? I’m looking to snag a used one but cannot find proper color names for past releases. Thank you!

Given the high volume of fill - the Rab Mythic Ultra is supposed to be an extremely warm jacket (I think 9 ounces of down, as compared to 4-5 in many down jackets). How does this compare in warmth to the Alpha Down Parka?

What about Cortazu? what is they warmer jacket? 🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂

Nice to see Jottnar made the channel, Chris. Hopefully your experience with the size hasn’t deterred you from trying other pieces. Just a minor point on the brands origin. It was founded by two former British Royal Marine Commandos. The Royal Marines perform their mountain and Arctic warfare training in Norway, hence the Nordic inspiration behind the brand. The sizing has a lot to do with that heritage, being highly technical mountaineering gear. You’d probably need to size up in a lot of their gear. I do myself, in between L and XL.
