  • Hi this is daniel with hiking the ozarks. I’m here today to talk to you about the ark tech gamma ar pants these are a soft shell type of pant really a three season kind of pan. Through a brush lined on the inside which adds a little bit of warmth to them but not more of like a police line like a four season pant would be so i really like these especially in the fall especially in the spring and actually in the ozarks here where it’s not overly cold in the winter i can get away with them most of the year but in other colder climates are probably more of a three-season pant some of the features about them got two nice cargo pockets on both i they come. With a zip on each side which i really like so i don’t lose anything out of it’s got two zipper pockets in the front here hand warmer pockets really like that got the full zipper in. The front for the crotch obviously good. Things and they come with a belt i hate it when pants don’t come with a belt i really like that feature even though that’s a small thing but i really like it they’re obviously an athletic type of fit but you can get them in a couple different sizes from our kara come along too short and things like that the pant. Legs themselves kind of have a more of a straight leg kind of fit like a straight like jean would have but because of that it keeps the bottom really tied around your food and it has a little loop down here in the bottom you can simply attach to your shoe string and you can tighten it up on the bottom because it has little draw cord you basically keep these things really tied around your boot and the purpose of that is to try to keep you from really needing the gator if you don’t really absolutely have to have one so put a gator on top of these things like i do a lot of times and a deep snow and things really got a bullet proof system in place to keep the wind out keep the snow out you mud out to rocks out things like that these fans are also really stretchy there’s a nice stretchy material in here which Arthur is really good about making in their pants even though the insulated. Worms so they’re run about $199 again. That’s that’s maybe more than some people want to spend, but they’re really good the last a long time you can just drag these things all over the place you’re looking for a really good soft shell type of pant definitely want to check the arterial gamma a arp and i think you’ll really like it pretty much indestructible.

  • My name is ali pet tit i work and materials with the north face and this is the thermoball jacket thermoball is a synthetic alternative to down that provides ultralight warmth in all conditions you can take your thermoball. Jacket into any condition it’s super lightweight it’s pack able its compressible and it’s going to work in any situation that you find yourself in. Thermoball dries faster than down because it’s synthetic and so it doesn’t hold on to moisture like a natural fiber. Like a feather or a down product does. The beauty of this jacket is it so compressible you can pack it up into its own stow able pocket i think an athlete would want a thermal ball product because it is incredibly lightweight they can step it into a small space and when weight is really important it’s. Going to give you that same amount of warmth for a much lighter weight than you would find with a traditional down parka type jacket this jacket features. Abound cuff and an internal hemmed raw cord. You.

    hi there it’s georgia and Clyde from the. Outdoor and today we’re out looking at the north face jacket range now with it. Being the autumn winter time of year we’re out there looking for insulated. Jackets that are going to keep us warm when we’re out walking or doing our outdoor activity and the north face thermal fits the bill so the north face. Thermoball jacket is insulated by. Primaloft now this has the same loft as. Down but it is a synthetic material so. This means that even if it gets wet it. Will still retain its insulating ability. Now this is the latest version of north. Face thermoball jacket and it’s. Different because rather than having a box baffle construction it’s got what. They call a bottleneck construction so. If you can see you will show you that. Rather than it being boxed it kind of. Flows through so this gives a much greater consistency you don’t have that kind of boxing which loses heat but there’s a much greater consistency that follows through the outer fabric is a 15. D ripstop nylon so it’s fairly tough and. Strong for when you’re out and about. Maybe you’re bashing it around while I’m in or something like that so the inside. Of the jacket then has a nylon taffeta. Design and construction and that means that you’re going to be kept really warm with that primaloft insulation and now. I’m wearing the thermoball jacket and. Kleiss wearing the thermal pudding differences the jacket doesn’t have a hood and it’s quite a neat nifty design and the hoodie has the hood for those. Who wish to have a hood so both of the jackets have a slim fit. Design and this is so that when you’re out being active you can feel the jacket. Against your body and it’s not flapping about all over the place now to make this jacket adjustable to you. It has him pinch cords around the waist. There so you can actually tighten it up or loosen it makes sure that it’s bit snug around to burn round your waist inside the internal cuffs now they’re. Not on the end like you normally see they’re actually hidden away inside the sleeves of this jacket and that gives. You extra wind protection now personally i don’t know about Clyde but and if you’ve got a small skinny risk the elastic for me isn’t quite enough but it. Does help that the fact that these cups are hidden away inside rather than being. On the outside so good to get your. Gloves in especially if you’re out doing alpine trek or our point climate both. Jackets have a bit long centre front zip and that’s just a one-way zip standard. There those jackets have two hand pockets to. The front and also on the inside there is an inner zip pocket for security. The jack is quite a thin construction as. You will see so this makes it ideal as a. Mid-layer so you can wear it as an outer layer to. Take that chill off if your be laying or out walking about but if you want to. Put it in your rucksack because of its thin construction it will easily fit into your rock sack it’s not going to take up a major amount of room and it. Will fit comfortably under a hard shell to be as a mid layer the jacket is not. Waterproof but it is dwr treated so that. Means if you’re out in a light shower. Misty weather something like that it will be and the water will run out but if it starts chucking it down you’re. Going to get soaked this jacket then is. If you want to stow it away it does actually secure down into its own pocket. So you can pack it down if it does get absolutely drenched and you want to put it away because you’re just getting cold and wet but you should stay warm with this jacket because of its insulation properties with the primaloft thermal. Offed synthetic insulation in there so. I’m an average women’s size 10 and this jacket for me the slim fit quite nicely there’s a bit of gift either all want to put hands up to the side so from reaching out stretching out doing climbing that’s great it gives the extra cover that is needed it just come down a little bit this one over the bottom of. My bum which gives that protection there fits quite neatly now with the slim fit. For me as a woman it does feel quite slim but there is. Still, give and movement under the arms and around about the areas that you are going to need to move and stretch your. Body out so it’s quite a nice fitting jacket a jacket from the north face. I’m wearing a medium-sized and as you can see it’s quite a comfortable fit when you stretch out the arms do rise up a little bit the arms are not articulated but again maybe that’s. Something that doesn’t really matter. So the server will range from the north face comes either in a jacket or a hoodie now you can get for both men and. Women the jacket and the hoodie and it’s bocalee outdoors let’s take a closer look at the 30 bed so the hood comes. Right up and around your head like so. The hood is a fairly close fit you would. Get a climbing helmet over it if you want to so the jacket has a nice collar. That comes up quite tight around your neck which does keep the wing out. However it is elasticated so there is a. Big gift and a bit of room around neck especially if you’re not wearing. Throughout the north face thermoball jacket range new for this season now if. You want to browse any more of the colors in both men’s and women’s range and see the women’s with a hood and the men’s without a hood then head over to our website at the outdoor okay so if.

  • Hi there it’s georgia from the outdoor. And today brand-new up the shelf we’re going to be taking a quick look at the 8. X flex range from the north face now. I’ve got two jackets here and i deliberately chose them in the same color just, so we really have to try and. Spot the differences now the third jacket is the apex lex 2.0. And Marilyn the model is wearing that. Today and the second one that I’m wearing is the apex flex furthermore. Jacket now the difference is in the name one is a different type of vortex shower. And one has a thermal insulated in so. Let’s take a closer look at both of the jackets and give them a bit of a comparison just so you can actually see the difference so let’s take a look at the jacket that I’m wearing first then this is the thermal apex flex jacket now. It’s a two layer gore-tex answer shall. And inside the thermal properties it has. 18 gram primaloft synthetic insulation now that 80 grams. Is wrapped in the body and then in the third and in the sleeps you have 60 gram primaloft synthetic insulation now this jacket is 100% waterproof its. Also a really percent was the prints as you’d expect with this sort of jacket and it allows your body to breathe as you’re working out there walking on the hills or whatever activity you choose mystic let’s take a look at some of the closer features that make this jacket really stand out then it’s not the standard velcro cups which can be. Adjusted so you can keep that winch it out it’s also got a really nice take hip. Up the front which goes all the way down. The front ranks of the jacket it’s not too hidden pocket and the seams there. Are using the weight just to give extra protection in those pockets on. It has pit zips for extra ventilation. Especially you sweat it out and getting really warm one thing i really. Liked about this jacket is that it’s got a removable hood so you can take the. Whole hood off as well as adjust it to fit your head so if you don’t want the hood on the jacket and you prefer a jacket that just sits neatly around your neck so you’ve got room to lose you can fully remove the hood now the weight of. This jacket is 300 grams barely know it. Wait for an insulated soft shell jacket. Now this jacket comes in a standard sit i have an average size 10 and this jackets a medium and it fits me quite nicely I’ll probably be able to squeeze into a small but the medium just gives me that extra room you wouldn’t need to. Layer up in this jacket because it’s actually really warmed especially with that thermal primaloft lining I’d. Recommend this jacket we use for everyday activity walking hiking trekking that sort of thing you do get. Quite warm in this jacket and there isn’t an option to take that thermal lining out so think about what you’re doing and whether this jacket might be want to you know really the model is. Actually wearing the north face 8 x flex. 2.0 jacket now this jacket has a bit. More of a slim fit as you can see around. First sight and it has a three layer gore-tex shell which means that it’s. Great for your activity where you go up to climb a new house but it’s definitely the sort of jacket that will take that rough and tumble wear and tear. Especially with its three layered gore-tex shall now it is made from a. Soft woven fabric so it’s great to the touch and again it’s 100% waterproof and. A hundred percent wind proof again it’s. A breathable jacket and it comes in a. Variety of different colors the membrane. On this jacket is druvan bond it both to the inside and outside of the coat so this is really. Robust and it gives you extra protection now again this jacket has the adjustable. Velcro cuffs there and it also has a. Front pocket which means that you can. Store things right near your chest if you wish to it has two side pockets. Either side again being able to store. Your walking essentials now this jacket also has pit tips for. That extra ventilation if we take a closer look at the hood this jacket. Unlike the thermal has a fixed hood so you can’t take it off the apex flex 2.0. Jacket however it is fully adjustable. And you can pull it in tightly and neatly around your head the same as the. Thermal jacket but the other feature of the thermal jacket is that that hood is. Fully removable so the main difference. Is there between the two jackets the 2.0. Has the three layer gore-tex the thermal. Have to layer gore-tex the 2.0 it’s just. A standard seam sealed gore-tex outer. Shell with annoying membranes attached. To the inner lining whereas the thermal. Has that primaloft synthetic insulation. Which is obviously going to keep your core a lot warmer when outdoing your. Chosen outdoor activity both jackets a. Waterproof windproof and breathable so you don’t miss out better and the. Thermal jacket has the removable hood whereas the 2.0 bonus fix the 2.0 weighs. In at 350 wraps where if the thermal. Comes in a bit domitor at 300 grams and.

    Hi I’m andy from the car lift store and I’m here to talk to you today about the north face apex bionics soft shell jacket it’s made of a really tough soft. Shell material nice and stretchy so you get really good freedom of movement it’s also very weather resistant as well so it’s going to keep you nice and comfortable in most types of weather in the hills two big pockets on the hips. Down here which are great for keeping your hands nice and warm got a napoleon chest pocket up here which i think is just about big enough for a folded up os map velcro adjustable cuffs just to keep. The wind from going up these sleeves but a hem draw cord she’s operated from inside the pockets. Just to get a snug fit around your waist i really like this jacket because it’s pretty windy here and I’m nice and comfortable the winds not getting at me or anything like that this jacket is great for people who want. To do a little bit of walking and maybe just want to be able to wear the same jacket to the pub in the evening its nice and smart but it’s still technical enough to be used on the hill

    Suzy Williams about product: Mammut Nordwand Pro HS Pant – Women’s

    I am a size 27 or women’s 6 in pants and these run very very small. I quickly realized I needed a size10 to accommodate natural movement in the mountains as well as my long legs. Otherwise, I love the features and butt zip-off area of these bibs / ski-pants.. now I don’t have to get completely undressed to go to the bathroom. A wear these with thin wool leggings underneath and tall wool socks when I’m ski-touring and they are wonderful. No stretch whatsoever, but the Gore-tex has never failed me!

    Bryan B. about product: Patagonia Micro D 1/4-Zip Fleece Pullover – Women’s

    Bought this for my wife who is 5’11” and thin. It has a nice cut but the length is almost comically short on her.

    Will Pannier about product: The North Face Apex Piedra Softshell Jacket – Women’s

    I got this for my wife for christmas and she reports back: This jacket is replacing an old northface jacket that lasted me over a decade. It’s a bit thinner than I expected but I love the shape and the slight curve it accentuates in my waist. Hoping this jacket lasts as long as my last one

    Angie S. about product: Norrona Falketind Flex1 Softshell Pant – Women’s

    I really like these pants in that they are both functional and comfy. I wasn’t sure I’d like them at first because they are so thin and have no insulation at all, but with a base layer, they are quite warm in temps of 20-40 F. Below 20 F, I’d suggest two base layers. The fit is pretty lose around the thighs for me, but the waist sits prefectly on my hips. I could wear these pants all day! Curious to see how they feel in warmer temps. I have not worn them yet in rain or snow, so I’m not sure how water resistant they are.

    Travel Mom about product: Arc’teryx Gamma AR Pant – Women’s

    I purchased both the size 4 and 6. The difference is very slight; I actually think that one of the sizes is incorrectly labeled b/c I can’t tell the difference. I am 5’6″, have skinny legs and weigh 135 lbs. I do NOT have curves. I wear a 27/28 jean in 7s, Hudson’s, R&B and Paige. The waist on both the size 4 & 6 is too tight. I can’t figure out why Arct’eryx put a cinch belt on the these pants and chose to have such a narrow, high waist. Ladies, let me reiterate. These are VERY high waisted pants. I’ve been wearing the size 6 for 10 minutes and there is no way I can keep these. They’re too uncomfortable. Such a bummer b/c the purple color is fantastic. If the waist were lower and more forgiving, I would have ordered a second pair in black……

    Sharon M. about product: Arc’teryx Covert Cardigan – Women’s

    I bought this jacket in Large thinking it probably would be big and blocky like all other brands since I usually have to go up a size because of my wide athletic shoulders, long arms and waist (5’11 rower here). This commonly leaves an unflattering box shape depsite my relatively trim waist. I was pleasently suprised to find this jacket fit my arms, shoulders and hips but with a nice feminine curve to actually show my waist. This all confirmed my decision to keep the jacket since it could now double as a warm funcitonal jacket while backpacking as well as wearing out day to day without looking like a PCT’er popping into town. Thanks for making a jacket to fit a girl that’s active and as always making it top notch quality!

    Nirvana Ortanez about product: The North Face ThermoBall Insulated Jacket – Women’s

    TNF has great layering with their ThermoBall tech. I have this in a vest and I absolutely love the vest because it gave me extra warmth where I needed it. Now I can only imagine that the jacket would give full upper body warmth to the wearer aka my mother in law. I highly recommend if you have a relative or someone you know that needs to keep warm.

    Carley Mayes about product: Outdoor Research Refuge Hooded Jacket – Women’s

    My new favorite go-to for most days. Fitted look which is really nice. Perfect for most weather. Only down side would be the material, could be a little more water resistant as it got dirty quick.

    Ren W. about product: Marmot Kodachrome Short – Women’s

    The were exactly as described. Comfortable and great to hike in.
