      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.

    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

    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.

    • @meandmyjackets
      @meandmyjackets 18 дней назад

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @meandmyjackets
      @meandmyjackets 28 дней назад

      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.

    @steffenchristmas1987 Месяц назад

    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.
