nice one unharmed.  can you comment on the weight / warmth?

[unharmed]

I would call it medium weight. The lining is really soft and it's relatively fitted so I think it will be quite warm especially when you do up the collar. I only quickly tried it over the -70 but my initial reaction was that even that might be a bit thick for layering (for me at least  - obviously this will vary between people a fair bit) so that might limit how cold it will be comfortable in. I'm pretty certain I couldn't get a hoody under there easily unless it was really thin.

[unharmed]

Goes without saying that the details and construction are top shelf of course.

[Megatron1505]

A real "devils in the details" item, and this is loaded with details. It's heavier than expected, but still extremely comfortable, the hand warmer pockets are much appreciated, and the quality is completely next level.

[unharmed]

Right - I've been out in mine. It's much more windproof than I expected. I guess due to the ventile lining. Also I was completely wrong about the -70. It fits beautifully underneath. Must have been in a hurry. Not sure about the -72. I'll try that tomorrow.

[babyknight]

Mega - looks like a great fit!  Unharmed, thanks for posting your review/comments.

wow, glad my size is g0ne.  really into it,  timeless item.  great fit flicks.  mega, i  know you not into smeduim, but i really think you could go smaller

[Megatron1505]

This is an XL, I have already sized down from my "normal" size  :o

I couldn't go down another size, I put the Dark Rider on underneath it earlier, and it became a little tight. I think that, due to the two layer construction and materials involved, it can be a little deceptive in its fitting. Trust me, I could not have sized down, it would have fit like a wet suit.
