Does it trap the moisture inside rhe jacket boss?

[@johnho2006]

never had moisture build up. well not in our climate (north west England), it has no vents or air flow , and is big and baggy, i have to admit i have never sweated in it and worked out where it becomes a sweat box, i wear it over other tops that are usually cottons or breathable, it is a good wind cheater/blocker.

[@TheMacbu]

You have a 3XXXL? The jacket locks pretty small on you (no insult). I' 1,80m with around 80kg and i thought a "L"-sized jacket would fit very well ...

[@johnho2006]

yes mines a 3 xxxl , trust me its baggy and loads of movement when i slip over the buffalo shirt and smock. the length is waist height so sits on your belt level, i just wish those made a trousers as well

[@TheMacbu]

@@johnho2006 OK, thanks a lot! I want mine only for the summer, maybe i will wear a shirt or a light sweater under it. Would size "L" work for that, or do you think this is too small? Belt level sounds a little bit short ... O.o

[@johnho2006]

@@TheMacbu i find they are generous in size, and the bottom of the waist is an elastic cord,

[@TheMacbu]

@@johnho2006 Perfect, thank you! :-)

[@randoff9136]

Can I buy it for a jog boss?

[@johnho2006]

yes it is good for a jog, light weight top, more a windcheater, combined with a t-shirt , you'll start a new trend off.

[@3180mick]

Is it a bit like the old para silk zoot suit as in a lightweight windproof top John?

[@johnho2006]

yes your right, very much like a Zoot suit , i really wish Arktis would make a bottom half as well , its a nice soft nylon, with that mini ripstop grid , but softer than the smocks rip stop

[@stefanobio7045]

Hi John is the jacket breathable would it be suitable for jogging in the rain, thank you for posting, stay safe, best regards, Stefano.

[@johnho2006]

No not a breathable top, it's a solid nylon wind breaker ,lots of room and seems to vent well for walking, not sure it's a good jogging top,
