When running, you heat up fast, sweat a lot and its hard to cool. On a dry cold winter day, all you need to go out running is tights, gloves and one mid weight layer. So you might say this is still a difficult task, no gimmie. But, we know running demands and environments are very different, for one there is much less wind chill to deal with, there is also a totally different body fit and also there is less (almost none) wind speed to assist hot body vapors. Of course, from a technology standpoint it makes sense, Showers Pass make top shelf cycling jackets that manage water, heat and vapor. So when Showers Pass called and asked me to review a new running jacket from a cycling company I was intrigued. Take a look, its pretty desolate with mainly lower tech Form over Function (ie fashion) items. I know from personally shopping that there has never been anything particularly exciting in the running jacket market. Overall, great jacket, worth the price, and I'm a really proud owner of it.A lot of you already probably know that I run in the off season both trail and road. However, maybe I'll be in the field one day and see the advantage. Do they need to be one giant section? don't think so. I love the pockets mixed with the pit zips, having flexibility with pocket size and pack belts is great. Maybe I need to shrink my bum but it is like the jacket forgot the curves of women there-which can vary so much. Also, it is nice and long, which I love, but because it sits more form fitting at the waist, it also does on my bum.
The jacket is tighter at the waist than the shoulders, as you'll see in other reviews. I gave the jacket 5 stars but if I could, I'd give it 4.5 only because everything has room for improvement. I have literally been able to stand amongst a herd of deer on a very still morning-awesome. Not only does the waterproofing work but I have been able to get closer to animals more than ever before (maybe I'm growing as a hunter but also, I think this camo pattern works well). Actually, i loved it so much that since I have found myself wearing it regularly as we have had a nice, wet fall. I fished a ton in SE AK and it rained even more.I stayed dry and it was comfortable to wear. Right after getting the jacket I headed to southeast Alaska to fish for coho and saw an atmospheric river in the forecast. I'm a gear snob and had very high expectations for this jacket, especially when the price is compared to similar jackets in the industry.
After 5 years of not being super happy with my hunting jackets because they're either too light or too insulated, I decided to start over and mirror my cold weather backpacking set up: merino next to skin, insulating layer (if needed), down puffy and a solid GORE-TEX raincoat for wind resistance and the obvious, to stay dry. I am an adult onset hunter but have been a hiker my entire life. Love the jacket! I live in rural Idaho and purchased this for mule deer and elk hunting in central Idaho. If Waist and Hip measurements do not match up on the chart, choose a size that is between the two to find the best fit.Įx 1: If your waist measures 28” and your hip measures 40”, typically the best fit would be a size 29.Įx 2: If your waist measures 27.5”, and your hips measure 38”, typically the best fit would be a size 28. With hand partially closed, measure over the knuckles and around the hand, excluding the thumb. In a standing position, measure from your crotch to where you want your pants to end, breaking at the top of the shoe in the front and just above the heel in the back. Stand relaxed while measuring.įor hip circumference, measure around your fullest point, approximately 8” below your natural waist. Measure your natural waist, which is the narrowest part of your abdomen, between your ribcage and hips. The tape measure should be snug, not so tight that it constricts breathing, yet not so loose that the tape measure slides down.
Wrap the tape measure under armpits, around the fullest part of your chest. Measure from the center of the back of your neck, along the shoulder and down the elbow to the wrist bone. Bend your elbow and put your hand on your hip.
