WX SV Jacket
Very impressed with the quality of the jacket and its features. This jacket is sized for going over body armour or a binocular harness so there is ample space in the body and doesn't restrict arm movement in the slightest. If you're used to Arc'teryx LEAF sizing, order the size of garments that you typically wear. For reference, I'm 5'8", 45" chest and 36" waist, and weigh 195 lbs and a Large jacket fits with ample space to wear a base layer and an Atom LT Hoody without any restriction or issue. Keep in mind that this is not a super small and highly compressible jacket... this is like wearing a sleeping bag and you're going to look like a fluffy tactical marshmallow but the dead air space and insulation it provides is impressive. The price tag is steep but I'll be trusting this jacket for many years to come in the bitter Canadian winters.
