Top 25 Cheapest Climbing Clothing & Accessories for Ladies

Hey everyone gear review or three one two here today we’re gonna be reviewing the arc’teryx head um lt vest. First impressions love it awesome. It’s arc’teryx i have a number of their products as usual this one’s phenomenal. Today I’m going to kind of go over a quick breakdown of my impressions and. You know everything about the best itself and if you have any questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out let’s. Start with some basics this is the. Carbon color men’s medium I’m 5 foot 10. I weigh 170 pounds as things that’s perfectly i wouldn’t recommend anything smaller or. Larger severe same size medium and. Adjust accordingly the vest has cored. Loft i kept the tag on so that you could. See that quick background i have the. Arc’teryx atom lt hoodie which i love i. Wear it all the time and i wanted this. On this vest because i felt it would be. Good for weather around 30 to 50 degrees. I live in chicago so the weather is all. Over the place so it’s nice to have something for that range although i could wear the hoodie. Admiralty hoodie if i wanted to but just. A different change of pace so anyways the quarter lot where it’s just really well no complaints keeps you. Warm breeze well a great product it. Really does alright so let’s do a little. Little closer breakdown as you can see. This kinda has like a rip stop nylon. Appearance to it. To the left of it this is standard with. The atoms it’s more of a mesh material. Okay one thing that did throw me off. Guard though was in the inside as you. Can see right here it’s kind of like an. Elastic band that is actually kind of. Cool because it keeps the vast more snug. Around your head so wind doesn’t kind. Only fly up and get into the jacket so. You’re well insulated with this again it. Does breathe well in these side panels. Really help with the breath ability i. Purchased mine from paragon sports and i. Was actually very impressed with their standard shipping i got it and i think three or four days so kudos to them the. Price point 149 which i think is. Standard all over the place i actually couldn’t purchase it on the arc’teryx website because they were sold out, but they tell you to give paragon a try. Inside again on this side not much. Although i do love this like red kind of wine color and then on the right we have. A pocket which is nice there is a pocket. Here and then there’s not a pocket on. This side. Other than that there’s not a lot. To describe i mean if you’re looking for a best if you’re looking for probably the best that you can buy for this. Price point especially i would definitely recommend the art there so. Adam lt and you know that’s really it. Guys if you have any questions again feel free to feel free to ask otherwise. That’s it thanks.

So the shirt I’m wearing is the mountain hardwear chiller long sleeve shirt and. This shirt is part of a larger product line up that mountain hardwear has using. A technology they call cool q0 and what. That means is they’ve taken the fabric, and they have put a cooling agent on the. Inside of it that goes next to your skin so that when you sweat it cools you off. And I’ll see if i can let you see the. Little blue circles on the fabric and. That’s what it basically looks like this. Shirt is eighty-six percent polyester it’s fourteen percent you last so. It’s very stretchy it’s very comfortable. It’s soft supple shirt weighs nine. Ounces 255 grams it’s very quick drying. Very pack able i acted up and unpacked it. Several times while i was out testing it i washed a thing in the creek wrung it. Out by hand put it back on in about 20. Minutes it was completely dry there’s. Several features that the shirt has and one of the ones that i like the best is. The caller it’s made so that you can flip the collar up and I’ll show you. Can flip the caller up like this and then it has an additional caller. Extension. So if you want to protect the back of your neck from getting sunburned you can flip the collar up and you can wear it that way that comes in very handy at. Times especially when you’re so unlike me you have short hair the shirt as well. Has venting panels underneath the arm. Right here that run all the way up to about the elbow all the way through the. Underarm and all the way down the side to right here and it’s just kind of. Little panel with a bunch of little holes if you can see there’s one. On either side right there now some. Of the other fishing shirts that i have like the columbia sportswear fishing. Shirts there vince it in the back they have a back flap you know with a little mesh back there underneath the flap those are great for fishing not so great. For backpacking because your backpack covers that vent up okay its shirt like. This is much better for backpacking because it will vent through the sides much more comfortable okay the shirt. Also has a side zip pocket right here. Pretty good size pocket it’s about 4 by 8 inches you get a snack in their Kempis. Oh gee i don’t know a bunch of things you could put in their map maybe if you folded it up pretty good would go in there and the zipper works really good and smooth okay they’ve sewn it on in a. Was that it doesn’t have a bunch of. Saggy material around it that can get caught up in the zipper okay nobody. Likes that now on the inside in the same. Place if i unbutton the shirt right here. There is another pocket it’s just a top-loading pocket right here that you. Can put stuff in again snacks oh i don’t. No pair of glasses i don’t know what. Ipod anything like that you want to. Carry. The buttons are easy to work the. Buttonholes fit the buttons really well they’re nice and tight and the buttons actually are flexible i don’t know if you can see that or not but these buttons been there they got a lot of flex to them they’re not hard and brutal. Now i really would have rather had one. Pocket on this side and one pocket on. This side on the inside is fine but i. Really wouldn’t want both pockets on the same side but that’s the way they made the shirt so i guess I’ll have to live with that also would have rather had. Lapel buttons right here because i think. That the caller just looks a little bit sloppy like that it’s not bad I’m just. One of those people i kind of like lapel. Buttons or maybe even a little velcro tab right there to hold those and that’s something that i might add in the future we’ll just have to see and the other. Feature on this or the sleeves you’ve. Probably noticed i have one sleeve down and one sleeve rolled up right the shirt. Is made with a roll up sleeve tab right. Here that has a snap on it now it’s. Important that you know it has a snap because snap is much easier work with one hand than a button okay so you just. Roll the sleeve up like that and then. You’ll find this little tab hanging out. From the bottom of the sleeve and you just grab that tab and you stick it. Right through this little loop in the shirt like that and you just fold it. Over and you button it well if i get. Then lined up you button it up there you go you snap it rather but you snap it together and there you go and then at any time of course you can unsnap it and roll the shirt back down the cuff has one button i think i would have rather had to another one right here but this is you know that’s adequate now. Well this is a medium and i usually wear a medium shirt but this one is a full. Cut and a lot of shirts like this that. Are designed to be used in the outdoors whether you’re you know fly fishing or. Something like that have a full cut and this makes the shirt more comfortable it gives you a greater range of movement see your father’s fly fishing you know i. Have great range of movement nothing’s binding nothing’s tight sure it’s very. Comfortable the hem on the bottom of this shirt i probably can’t get it in the camera frame but to him on the bottom of this shirt is just straight across it’s not tailored to be tucked in so this shirt can be worn out and it looks fine that way which is usually the way i wear a shirt when it’s hot outside you just get better ventilation without. It being tucked in you know so this. Is the mountain hardwear chiller a long. Sleeve shirt you can find more detail. About this shirt and the written part of my review thanks for watching.

Hi it’s greg from get out their gear reviews and I’m wearing the men’s integral pro long sleeve tee from mountain hardwear if your anything like me you probably have more race shirts and you could ever wear and most of them are probably textured so what’s. The appeal the sure like this wow i find. That most race shirts have a limited lifetime and are typically made for warmer temperatures this shirt is designed for warren fit contains wool yeah you heard me right wool i don’t. Think I’ve ever owned a wool sweater let alone a little running shirt so i was eager to test this one out to be accurate it’s a proprietary material called wick cool which is a blend of polypropylene and what’s described as. Sustainably sourced merino wool my first thought was that wool would not make for a comfortable shirt however it is very. Comfortable and really is quite soft it actually wears like a comfortable cotton shirt so that’s a check mark for general comfort and I’ve yet to get it snagging. It like i do it just put all my textures so that’s a check for durability it also performs well out on a run and cool weather the blend of wolves warmth and the wicking and drying of a textured make for a very functional shirt which i really enjoy wearing for me it feels. That whole my running kit where it’s too cool for a t-shirt but i know if i wear a running jacket I’ll be too warm it’s. About minus five degrees Celsius right now or 23 Fahrenheit and too warm for me. To wear a jacket oh and a rhyming you might have a different temperature point but you also probably have this dilemma. Between shirt and jacket this morning i was out for a 17 kilometer I’m and light. Winds and with just a light layer underneath i found this shirt get me nice and warm I’m wearing a large which. Is my typical shirt size and it fits well with generous sleeve lengths if you’ve seen other reviews I’ve done you know that’s a very important criterion for me and my long arms so another check. Mark for overall fit and the sizing chart on the mountain hardwear website i will point out however that it has simple cuffs without thumb holes which. Is something you might find in some other cold weather garments although it contains wool this shirt is machine washable and washes very well I’ve washed it at least six or eight times. And it is held up nicely I’ll also point out the stitching which is quite substantial and speaks to a well-made shirt and makes for a distinctive look and i like the high-neck which you can zip up when it’s particularly cold and you can see there’s a small cover for the zipper to prevent chafing and irritation to sum it up the men’s integral pro long sleeve tee is a very good cold weather shirt it’s comfortable like cotton it has the warmth of wool. And aware’s and washes very well I’m craig forget out their gear reviews be sure to subscribe to our channel and check out our other reviews on products suitable for intern sports outdoor recreation and adventure.

The rubber cent jacket is perfect for. When the temperature drops using the finest quality duck down this jacket is. Impressively insulating keeping you lovely and warm to fleece lined pockets. Keep your hands nice and toasty and an. Internal pocket is great for any valuables the down-filled hood and fleece-lined. Collar provide warmth to your neck and. Head keeping out any cold drafts as does. The longer body length and adjustable hem and cuffs water-resistant but not. Waterproof this jacket is perfect for those chilly winter days ideal for everyday use in. Colder temperatures and just as at home on the walk to work as it is on the hills the rubber cent jacket is as well. Available in a female version.

I’m wearing the women’s patagonia stretch rain shadow jacket this is an. Extremely lightweight and stretchy. Breathable jacket that is completely. Waterproof and it’s perfect for those. Adventures where you need something lightweight that you can pull out of your pack and put on and know that it’s going to protect you from the elements the waterproof features of this as well. Make it very wind resistant so you’ve. Got a great lightweight shell here that’s got just enough features that makes it perfect for any adventure the. Material here is a two and a half layer. Stretch nylon h2no performance shall the. Fabric itself is waterproof but it’s. Also coated with a dwr finish this. Fabric is extremely breathable so that dwr finish on the outside helps the. Water to bead up runoff it doesn’t get. Saturated into the fabric at all and that helps it keeps its breathable properties so you don’t get the water building up so you kind of hold in your. Heat and your water vapor it definitely. Is breathable that way and the incredible stretch of this jacket really. Makes it versatile for all different activities it’s not going to slow you. Down and even the look of the fabric. It’s not super shiny like some other rain jackets so you can get away with wearing it when it’s not raining you don’t feel like you’re wearing that slick shiny shell the features here are. Simple so they keep it lightweight down at the bottom hem you do have a stretchy draw cord that goes around the whole hem. Of the jacket so you can cinch it in here down on the bottom you do have a. Watertight zipper both on the full. Length zipper of the jacket but also on the pockets on the chest pocket and the pockets on this side so you’re gonna be protected that way two hand level pockets these are perfect for hand. Warmer pockets they’re gonna keep your hands nice and protected, but they’re set up high enough here that if you’re wearing a harness or if you’re wearing a backpack with a hip belt you can still access those pockets and then you have that chest pocket up here for smaller items you do have underarm zips here and. They’re really easy to access so and. They’re really big zippers so you can really just dump all of that excess heat out of the underarm zip there and that’s. Going to keep you nice and cool inside the jacket and then moving up to the. Hood you have a nice collar here up at the top so you can really protect your face if you need to and it is a helmet. Compatible hood so the hood is certainly. Big enough you could wear a climbing helmet underneath of there or even a bike helmet if you’re wearing it that way but you do have some adjust ability. In the back so you can make the volume. Of that hood be a lot smaller so if you’re not wearing a helmet if you’re hiking or backpacking you can cinch that down and you have a stiffened brim here. On the front and that just keeps the rain from getting onto your face the fit. Here is really nice right now I’m wearing a small and it fits me really well I’m just wearing a lightweight. T-shirt and kind of base layer underneath of it and i feel like i have plenty of room to move if i was wearing. Some insulated pieces underneath of this. I might want to size up to a medium but as far as the stretch here as far as the. Fit I’ve definitely got some room this jacket isn’t going to weigh you down it’s extremely lightweight it’s breathable again so it’s gonna dump out. All of that excess heat and it packs down to be nice and small so you can pack it away when you don’t need it’s. The women’s patagonia stretch rain shadow. Jacket. You.

Hi I’m krista torgerson i work for. Patagonia out of venture california, and we’re here today to talk about our new stretch rain shadow jacket we developed the stretch rain shadow to work for lightweight backpackers chequers and especially rock climbers. First and foremost the piece is full stretch we need that mobility when moving through the mountains, so we used a really lightweight two-and-a-half layer fabric and it maximized the stretch in. The material we made sure that the back shoulder panels have a continuous piece. Of fabric from elbow to elbow this gives you maximum stretch while using the product again itself stuffs into its own. Chest pocket which is really nice for climbers being able to carry on route it’s got a clip off loop then we place. The two hand pockets really high to stay clear of a harness or a waist belt from. The backpack the hood is helmet compatible to work with your climbing helmet and again the whole thing men’s medium weighs about 272 grams the. Stretch rain shadow jacket is available in spring 16 it’ll retail for 250 euros. Again we built it to be a really versatile piece ideal for rock climbers backpackers and lightweight trekkers. You.

Hi I’m Adrienne from cotswolds outdoor. And I’m in the heart of the cotswolds today to show you the cerium sle vest. From Arcturus the outer is constructed. Mainly from Erato 7 fabric which is really lightweight and with a super find any air providing durability and wind protection at just 120 grams compact with an 850. Fill goose down the vest is highly pack able with an impressive warmth to weight ratio it’s been carefully.

Hey there it’s andrew from back country skiing canada calm we are here at. Boulder hut adventures for a week of ski. Touring in the per sells with the ansi family having a great time and i just wanted to tell you about this mid layer I’m wearing right now first of all just so you know what I’m wearing on the outside is the lithic comp jacket from our carrick’s to take a look at that go over here now. Underneath here I’m wearing the cerium lt jacket and if you’re curious to learn. More about down insulating down and. Synthetic insulating apparel you can go over here and check in that area so the. Cerium lt jacket is the lightest of all. Arc’teryx down products offered our. Tareq’s got into the down world about three or four years ago and this is one of their first offerings what’s unusual about it is that it incorporates you. Now the body mapping technology what have you but what it basically boils. Down to is that there’s core loft right here and here and on the shoulders so. Core loft is something that you can get wet and it still stays warm and core loft is something that we have it’s. Included in other jackets we have as well. Reviewed so basically this is a mid. Layer jacket but it’s still very. Warm I’d say it’s a mid layer jacket largely because of how it fits this is a. Large I’m six-foot to about a hundred. And seventy-five pounds but it’s fairly. Snug everywhere even under the arms so it works best underneath the jacket as a. Mid layer basically you have two hand. Warmer pockets here with zip ups a great. Hood with a simple drawstring on the. Back and no pockets on the inside if. I had my druthers i might like a pocket. Here but it just maybe perhaps wasn’t. Included because of the extra weight. So this is the arc’teryx cerium lt. Jacket and i put it in my i put in my. Pack — just as a backup layer or if it’s. A really cold day I’ll wear it as a mid layer it comes in a myriad of colors this is the blue color obviously the Coyle blue check the website check the. Arc’teryx website to see what colors are available now because they change fairly often lots of cool colors so check it. Out oh that’s it the arc’teryx seria melty. Jacket I’m andrew from back country skiing canada thanks for listening and check out our website back country skiing canada calm for more gear reviews trip reports and other fun stuff thanks for watching.

Hey guys today i want to do a review of the down jacket i used on my appalachian shelter hike and i use the art eric cerium lt hoody really great backpacking. Down jacket i think this is its main purpose is for backpacking comes in at nine point seven ounces uses about three. A little over 3 ounces of 850 850 fill. Power down which is really nice high quality down and one thing i really like about this jacket and it kind of sets it apart from other jackets in this class is arc’teryx uses core loft 80 synthetic. Insulation in certain places that are kind of known to gather moisture. Normally so like right here this is the. Mouthpiece so you can see the square right here that’s core loft insulation so when you have it zipped up your breath just from. The moisture in your breath that can naturally get wet and Karloff does a much better job at staying warm when it’s wet than down, so they put core loft right there they also put it on the. Shoulders here which is really good because when you’re wearing a backpack strap that can stay warm right. There because it’s its keeping it tight against your body also and under arms. Here they use core laughs so this is. Triangle piece right here that’s coral oft insulation also notice that the underarm is gusseted which makes it really nice gives you better articulation and there’s more range of. Movement so you’re not getting bunched up and just makes it more comfortable to wear for a long period of time and the. Last place they put it is right here on the wrist of the jacket so you know all. This right here is core loft and then the rest of it is down super nice i think that’s a really good idea and it just makes the jacket kind of you know. The next level kind of jacket that and. Kind of company that arc’teryx is they put out really high quality stuff as far. As fitment of the jacket is also standard arc’teryx nice slim fitting I’m. 6 foot tall and weigh about 150 pounds and the size medium fits me perfectly. It’s long in the arms so i can actually it doesn’t it doesn’t stop short which. Is really nice also on the wrists they have a nice little elastic cuff. Kind of keep it helps keep it tighter around your wrist to help them drafts coming in but really slim fitting but it’s you know it’s a down jacket so. There’s gonna be a little bit poufier but it’s slim fitting so you don’t feel. Like you’re wearing like this gigantic down jacket really great some things i. Would i would use this jacket for are mainly backpacking because of its light. Weight and its warmth to weight ratio is outstanding but also it’s a really good. Jacket for around the town just everyday stuff and like in the spring and in the. Fall on chilly days chilly nights this. Is a really good jacket for that because it’s a lightweight down jacket it’s really not meant for like cold weather like really cold weather winter stuff that’s not what it’s made for so because. This is primarily a backpacking jacket it does come with a really nice stuff sack unfortunately i can’t show you that because i lost it, and they have. Hopefully i can find it i know it’s here somewhere i just can’t find it right now, but they actually have on the inside of their pockets or one of them anyways. They have a way they have a loop in here that’s the drawstring from the. Stuff sack will actually tie into that way you don’t lose it like i did so if. You do get this jacket just leave that on and that way you can just kind of. Stuff it rights into it and just make sure you always put it back in the pockets hopefully i can find that again because it stuffs down to a really nice size it’s only like this big which is. Super nice so one thing about this. Jacket though is because it’s a lightweight down jacket and if you go. From pretty much anything like you’re. Talking backpacking stuff anything robust is gonna be heavy so if you’re. Trying to save weight usually that involves a shaving weight involves going. To thinner materials lighter stuff is. Always less strong than more robust. Stuff so it’s just something to be aware of so i brought out another down jacket. I have which is my fjällräven down jacket and this is definitely a much. More robust jacket also notice the size difference like how i was talking about it’s probably this jacket isn’t really a good standalone piece for the winter it’s mo we made for you know backpacking and. Like chilly nights whereas notice the. Size difference this is uh i use this as. Like a winter jacket you know much thicker much heavier but it’s also more. Robust so i just want to show you the difference real quick. And i think a good representation of this is the zippers see if you can. Hopefully the camera can get this just the difference in size of the zippers and how much more robust that the fee aravind one is much thicker much heavier. Duty and even the actual zipper itself the teeth on the zipper are a. Lot thicker and there’s its much. Smaller on the arc’teryx jacket which is a good thing if you’re looking to save weight that’s definitely a good thing this is gonna be a much lighter jacket was just something to be aware of that when you’re zipping it you know it’s probably not something that can take as much of abuse as the something. Bigger I’m not saying it’s gonna fall. Apart immediately or anything i mean i went my whole thru-hike with this thing except for the on the summer months and it lasted great I’d never had any problems with it and that’s why I’m doing a review on it cuz it’s something i love never had a problem with it but if you are really hard on gear or you’re. Looking for something that you know is. Gonna get beat up probably might not be. The best option but also at the same time i don’t know arc’teryx makes really high quality stuff and I’m sure it’ll I’m sure it’ll last so a couple other features about the jacket are on the hood it’s an adjustable hood so you can cinch it down around your head try and keep that warmth in and keep the draft out it’s pretty important and on the sides it has two hand pockets nice big. Pockets big enough to get your whole hand in there and keep them warm as well as store some stuff in their obviously pretty standard stuff um so i mean a. Downside to the jacket is that because. It’s down you have to keep it dry that’s really important when i was on the 80 i used a pack cover and a pack. Liner just to make sure i was keeping all the water out but it’s just something to be aware of if you’re not a huge fan of down they do make very similar jackets i believe they’re called the adams like the adam lt which is made. Of 100% coral oft so it will be a little bit heavier and but. I mean the positive to that is it’ll stay warmer when wet but if you’re. Looking for like absolute lightweight you really can’t beat the warmth to weight ratio it down so something to be. Aware of this jackets coming in at about. 350 bucks 360 bucks something like that. So what is on the higher side but you. No i kind of believe that you do get what you pay for and arc’teryx makes really high quality stuff so you know. Just another option for you if you’re shopping for down jackets and yeah. Thanks for watching see you.

So this is the micro ratio down jacket. It’s got a really awesome wait to warmth. Ratio and it’s a really great piece for. For layering when it’s pretty cold out. I it’s super pack able and it goes really. Well when layering with other base. Layers its super compressible its toes. Into its own pocket and from there you. Can stuff it in a backpack or clip onto. The back of your harness and it’s pretty much the perfect piece for any scenario.

Mr. energy’s extreme energizing equipment yeah all right we got the. Mountain hardwear micro ratio hood a down jacket smooth strong like me light. Fabric and is durable and weather resistant two zippered pockets q shield. Down 600 fill retains loft even when wet. Oh boy.

I’m wearing the microfiche of non-target. And i use a lattice project because it’s. Really light it’s really comfortable on. 3d warm at the same time. Last year i use a micro issue in patagonia because he doesn’t condone technology which keeps the moisture away. For us it’s very important to go on a. Three-day long trip to keep you don’t. Like it dry a matter some wet dom that. Is going to be frozen by the moon. It’s great for all conditions for all things. You.

Hey guys what will disappear hi today we’re gonna be taking a look at the women’s mountain hardwear micro ratio down jacket so this is ideal for your. Autumn and your winter walking it’s got q shield technology which has a 650 fill. Of down as well so it’s nicer than that right just gonna keep you nice and warm and has great wicked ability as well okay. Let’s take a closer look at its features so i really don’t try to keep it minimalistic this jacket is all about keeping you warm so the only storage you’ve got is your two traditional hip pockets on the bottom there well you’ll notice with the hip pocket it’s slightly raised so if you are wearing a climbing harness or if you’ve got your you know your hip straps close around your hips you still have access to the pocket itself nice and wide entry on the pocket. Even i can get my hands in there but space though is really cool you’ve got nice depth to it but the height overall pretty much is really good i mean it’s pretty much owns that seam there and it goes all the way down. To the bottom of the jacket so if you’ve got an os map or a harvey’s map should have any issues with the storage and because it’s all is it what your pop in there will stay safe and secure so you’ve got an exposed main zip on the. Front there right behind it you’ve got your storm flap so that’s designed to keep the windchill affecting your core body temperature so that has the shield q technology as well embedded into it to keep you nice and warm on the inside it’s pretty much a standard affair so.

Adam here forget out their magazine today i am bringing you a comparative review of two down-filled jackets by mountain hardwear Over here we have the ghost whisperer down hooded jacket and on this side we have the stretch down rs hooded jacket let’s break down what it’s similar first. At first glance you think that these may be the same jacket both uses similar fabric the rs is slightly thicker fabric in the whisper but both are extremely thin and feel like they could rip easily. But let me tell you they’re surprisingly durable after extensive use i have yet. To fiber rip and either of these jackets now each has a drawstring waist and each. Has similar down fill and provides. Similar warmth 750 down fill for the rs. And 800 for the whisper both have mountain hardwear’s q shield down which is treated to be water repellent however both jackets soak throughout their two hours in a wet snowfall finally both. Have down-filled hoods which do not have draw strings, but they do stay on tight even in high winds and that’s really where the similarities end the whisper has an active fit which is. Really tight to the body where the rs of the performance fit which is more room through the waist shoulders and arms for reference I’m five-eleven 185 pounds in both jackets are size medium the whisper. Is the world’s lightest down hooded jacket well at least that’s what the mountain hardwear website says so don’t quote me on that but it is extremely light it only weighs in at 7.7 ounces. Where the rs is also very light but it’s. Almost double the weight at fourteen point nine ounces to keep the weight down the whisper has a minimalistic design and only two zippered hand pockets while the rs has two zippered. Hand pockets a zippered chest pocket in the internal mesh pockets the cuffs are. Both very different drs has a traditional small outer elastic while the whisper has a unique design with the down fill all the way to the end of the sleeve and it has a hidden elastic inside the cuff to keep it in place surprisingly i found this was much better to keep the cuff in place during activity than the rs cuff a neat feature of the ghost whisperer is its ability to be stored away in its own pocket it folds up to the size of a large water bottle which makes it super convenient on days when the temperature or your activity level maven the rs is a version of mountain hardwear’s new stretch down line and to. Be honest i didn’t find there to be much stretch in this fabric however i did find it to be pretty comfortable at the end of the day i found the stretch down rs jacket to be great for leisure activities like walking the dog and hiking as well as general wear around town i also have had many compliments on. The style of this jacket on the other hand the ghost whisperer jacket has not had any compliments for the look and that may be due to the color but it is a way better choice for someone who’s looking for a down-filled jacket to be active in i have found this also to be. Useful as a mid layer under a hard shell jacket because of its nugget let it sit from the outside these jackets are very similar however depending on your use they are quite distinct so hopefully this video helped clarify that for you know if you’d like more information on either of these two jackets or any other mountain hardwear products please visit their website listed in the description below You.
