Grabbed the ME Changabang GTX Pro jacket with end of season discount saving me over £200-. Went for the pricier Changabang than the Lhotse or Tupilak jackets, because I tend to be so hard on my gear. Sized up from L to XL to allow for Winter layering. Superb protection from the elements, slightly boxier cut suited to my burly physique(17.5in neck, 45in chest, 36in waist) & plenty of options for storage & ventilation. Well impressed & couldn’t be happier with my acquisition. Kept me relatively dry & well ventilated during the torrential Autumnal downpours. Compliments on an informative & well made, if not exhaustive, video.
They are a mountain cut to avoid excess fabrics getting in the way when being used in an alpine environment. If you are looking to wear multiple layers under it then sizing up could be beneficial.
Hi There, Stu is wearing the Mountain Equipment Mantle Hoody; www.tauntonleisure.com/clothing-accessories/fleece-softshell/mountain-equipment-mens-mantle-hooded-jacket--medieval-cardinal__15321
@@tauntonleisure Would still prefer an external studded storm flap as this allows you to close the jacket but still allow extra ventilation in moderately poor conditions, I have been involved in outdoor pursuits for around 55 years and that works for me. Still waiting for the perfect outdoor jacket in Gortex Pro Shell !!!!!!!!!
