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.

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?
@meandmyjackets
@meandmyjackets 9 күн бұрын
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.

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.

does the jacket keep some warmth?
@meandmyjackets
@meandmyjackets 16 күн бұрын
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 19 күн бұрын
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 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 Chris, I have enjoyed your awesome videos on Arcteryx. I have the same model as today's jacket but the size is Large. I have a question: how do you keep the hood of your jacket such nicely stretched and has no wrinkles? In Japan, all jackets of Arcteryx sold at the brand directly-managed stores have the hood crumpled and wrinkled. Please let me know if there are any secrets to make the hood nice and wrinkleless like yours. Thanks.

Hi, honestly I've only had that jacket a few days. They arrive in the package folded up pretty well. I do have several older jackets that don't have any problems with wrinkles. I keep them hung up in the closet, and make sure that the hoods lay nicely on the back when not in use.
