    The worst jacket I have ever owned. Wetted out in a shower, seams leaked and the stormflap and drawcord gullies filled with water. You could feel the water sloshing about in them. For a jacket called the "Downpour"...its far from waterproof. It's HH of 20'000 should mean it withstands a good battering, but its not the case. Both my wife and I returned ours after two weeks. I now have the ME Gharwal and my wife has a Montane.... both have been totally reliable. Won't buy Rab shells or Pertex again.

    I bought the Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Jacket 2.0 and wore it yesterday and was bloody cold, despite wearing a waffle long-sleeved t-shirt and a light Merino rollneck - I was quite surprised. Now tempted by this version with the added fleece mid layer. Any thoughts of your own on this? Thanks

      @@naturalbornphotog the non insulated version is nice, but it's more of just a shell. Without any insulation, it won't give you warmth. The mid layer insulated version is a much more substantial jacket. They fleece lining adds warmth and comfort, but it also has synthetic insulation throughout. It's a really nice jacket.

    Is Arcteryx Beta LT worth the price increase over this one?

    • @meandmyjackets
      @meandmyjackets 3 дні тому

      They are a bit different. The Torrentshell feels heavier, stiffer, a bit bulkier. They also have different membranes, The Arc'teryx is GoreTex, the Patagonia uses their own H2NO. I look at the Beta as "more technical", and the Patagonia as more of a durable all round jacket for everyday or mountain use. That's just my opinion. They both are good jackets.

    • @meandmyjackets

      I have never applied a wax to my pants, so I can't answer that. That may be a question to ask Arc'teryx. Otherwise, you may want to look into a pair of GoreTex pants such as the Beta pants.

    Hey! Thanks for the amazing information on sizes. I started to look into buying the Beta AR and can’t decided between L and XL. I’m 6’ 214 lbs and plan to wear Atom LT layer underneath for mostly hiking. Some people say L some say XL, what do you think based on your experience? Also, should the atom mid layer be the same size I choose for the shell?

    • @meandmyjackets

      Arc'teryx does make great stuff, but that's not to say that everything else is garbage compared to them. All of the companies that I do videos on, make great pieces, with some in my opinion better than others. This Rab Mythic G is simply a great jacket. I do like it better than my Arc'teryx Cerium, and I am guessing that it may be just as warm as my Arc'teryx Thorium. It has a great fit, (not as trim fitting on me as the Cerium), it is super light, and the hood fits perfectly. Rab hit a home run with this jacket!

    Casually, today I received my Rab Mythic G. I was keeping an eye on your channel because you mentioned you would soon be doing a review of that jacket. I agree with everything you said in the video about the jacket. Here in Spain, it's still too early to try the jacket outdoors (the weather is still warm), but I've tried it on at home, between my Arc'teryx Kyanite Lightweight and my Rab Kinetic Alpine 2.0. Together, they form a winning combination in my opinion. A lot of comfort and mobility. I'm looking forward to the cold returning to my country so I can wear it. Thank you for all the reviews you do on your channel.
