Hi, biggest difference is that the Flex has low profile stretch panels under the arms for less bulk and more flex, great for lightweight adventures and layering in cooler climates! Thanks, Tom
No, it's a trimmer cut jacket (at least for me!) so less likely to be bought as a big belay jacket. Double zippers on insulated jackets were always an important feature for me, but what I have found in recent times is that these new, thinner jackets with elasticated hems are so light that I can pull them up over my harness abseil loop and still belay fine, without the whole jacket riding up and turning into a crop top on me! Cheers, Tom
Tom, you're a legend. Thank you for adding some humour and not conforming to the monotone of other reviews.
Cheers Mark, hope it helps you find your perfect jacket! Tom
Nice review.. with some added humour thrown in as well👍

how well would this keep out the wind in a steady 20 knot wind?
I'm 5 ft 11 with a 39inch chest would a medium me too tight? Shall I go with a large?
I wanna know what size you wore in this vid and how tall you are
Hi, I'm 6ft tall and wore size XL in this video. Large was just a fraction too tight 😭
Hi, What are the differences between this and Cirrus Alpine Jacket and what do you recommend? Thanks

Is it a 2 way zipper?

@@CotswoldOutdoor I never thought about just pulling the jacket up and over. Thanks!
