What was the sizing like? Is it worth sizing up if you want to wear layers underneath? Sounds like from the video you'd size up one to what you usually order? Thanks

[@gearbyorlaigh]

Yeah so for male, Bradley was wearing the one I have in the video which is a Medium with a thick jumper underneath, he is about 5'8 and lean. and he thought it fit well.. but when my partner tried it who is 6ft and broader on the shoulders he could get it on but was too tight (and short on the arms)-he wouldn't have been able to fit a jumper underneath it. My advice would be to go up size just so you do have more room to add to & if you don't mind it being a little bit bigger when you don't have layers underneath. Hope this helps :)

​@@gearbyorlaigh thanks! I'm usually an L (6'3 thin/mid build) but planning on wearing a fleece underneath...so was going to go XL off your video but don't want it to be massively baggy if I do wear it over a tee. Would you go L or XL here? Thanks for the help! Edit: also from your comment to other user you said it's only one of the layers that folds into itself?? Is that definitely right as seems so stupid that one is but one isn't! Main appeal for me is the self folding to easily store 🙂

[@gearbyorlaigh]

@@bloobat I think would be grand sticking with a large, my partner is about same size as yourself and as mentioned he had the medium on, was short on the arms and just not really enough wiggle room to layer if he wanted. If you are planning on wearing fleece with it then Large should be grand, then means wont be 'too' big in terms of if you were just wearing a T under it. I know, thinking about it, because I haven't had to necessarily pack the vest away, so did not realise that inside the breast pocket of the vest, it folds into itself also! so yeah they are both self packable! :) did think to myself .. why would they have one that is self packable and not the other! Defs handy though for travelling! Hope you find this helpful and have a beautiful day :)

@@gearbyorlaigh Great thanks for the info! And good luck with your channel 🙂

[@gearbyorlaigh]

@@bloobat Thank you so much, really appreciate it :)

If you are out and wearing both the layer and vest, then decided to remove one is there some place to store it within the other item? Like can I pack up and store the vest in the layer or vice versa?

[@gearbyorlaigh]

So the Layer folds into itself, into a self packable bag which you would be able to fit into one of the vest pocket.. in terms of the vest, it doesn't pack into a self packable pack. I mean you could fold it up and put it in the front pocket of the Layer jacket, but might just bulge out a bit. The Vest is a bit thicker in comparison to the Layer. Hope that answers your question :) EDIT: I stand corrected, you absolutely can self pack the vest, the inner breast zipper is where you pack it into! :)

lol… nice review. I ❤️ this company and its products. I have the warmer NS 60 which is amazing. super soft and great quality. Kimda sad its more for the winter ….so now I gotta get the NS 40🥳🤩😂

[@gearbyorlaigh]

Thank you !

[@MelanieJoules]

@@gearbyorlaigh you won‘t regret it👍

[@charlodd]

hi Orlaigh! thanks for the review - just to be sure, are you wearing a Woman M size? thank you :)

[@gearbyorlaigh]

Hey Lovely :), yes I am working Woman's Medium

[@Ilaria-tr3ok]

Hello! Do you think it might be suitable in Australian winters?

[@gearbyorlaigh]

Hey :) Awk, hard to say cause haven't been BUT for reference I was in Tignes, France wearing this in -14C at one stage. Although, since this video they have brought out a NS60 Jacket which might be worth checking out because it is designed for colder weather: rb.gy/jkoa3

[@mayumic08]

Whats your take on the protravel rain?

[@gearbyorlaigh]

From what I’ve seen online, looks nice, reminds me of Arc’teryx jackets with the hood! I’m going to get the NS60 to test, maybe I’ll get this one too! ✨

[@rtd1859]

Ive had the jacket for a year and while i loved it, it is no longer waterproof at all and now soaks through

[@gearbyorlaigh]

Oh no! I’ve never had that issue with this jacket 🤞🏼
