Love the bright, vibrant colour of this Makalu. Collected, used and abused a few ME pieces(Baltoro - Lapis, Changabang - Mykonos, Kongur MRT, Lightline - Majolica, Trango - Majolica, Vulcan MRT) over the years. Must concur with an earlier comment re. limitations in ladies sizes. Even with the availability of men’s sizes, never quite understood why few ME retailers stock, nor even permit special orders of, pieces in sizes other than S-XL(?) Also wondered why the colourways of ME’s men’s garments, with a few notable exceptions, tend to be so conservative or mundane compared to those in the women’s ranges(?) Agree with Natalya’s advice that, to ensure the best fit for all or most eventualities, one ought to really try these shells on with different combinations of base, mid and insulated layers. Still. Kudos on an instructive and well presented product promo.
Size up for layering system. Great. However, nearly all the manufacturers don't do ladies jackets above a size 16. Why because we are blessed with a big bust do we have go to mens sizes.?

Still reviewing expensive items again, what about cheaper items? Or is everything you sell expensive?
