80 g/m² insulation, Coreloft

140 g/m² .insulation. The previous poster was referring to the Node DOWN.

You're right. I was thinking of the Node Down since it was from this Winter's collection. It is definitely a well made garment albeit pricey.

Hey thanks for clearing that up guys! I ended up pulling the trigger on a Lyra Grey Node IS for $550 USD, which I don't think is all too bad. Really, slick piece in my opinion.

I was wondering what you all thought of that Smart Parka kickstarter that has been gaining a lot of traction? It honestly looks like it may be able to compete with some more of the Canada Goose crowd market...although at ~$200USD, I may or may not invest...
That said, without the GORE, it's definitely a different breed from Veilance. Still don't know if I'm sold quite yet, but it is certainly versatile: http://bvwPMtuR.kckb.st

That kickstarter looks interesting. Need to have a closer look. What is the GORE, you refer to? Gore-tex?

Last thing we need is another quasi-goose. They literally took the Chilliwack, Langford and some variation of the Moose Knuckle Crystal parka and threw on shittier zippers and fabric. I'm not even a CG or MK fan and I find this offensive.

$740 retail? Rubbish. Who wears a scarf with a winter parka for purposes other than aesthetics? Oh look here are some flimsy, sorry "flexible" leather gloves. I don't think anyone has ever asked for an iPad pocket. The extendable length, though gimmicky is cool. For $300 or $400 you can get a Camosun on sale no problem or a Koda from @Caligari and I.

My apologies, I really sick of this pseudo-goose fever.

Anyone have experience with the Partition Coat? Interested in picking one up but I'd like to know some things. Is it wearable in SS or is it really a FW jacket? Note: I get cold easily, so since it's not filled I feel like it'd for for SS for me. Their sizing chart says XS is a 36, and I'm usually a 34 at 5'7. I've read that Veilance wears a little big; will it be too big assuming I'll mostly only be layering a sweatshirt underneath?

 

[John-Galt]

The Partition is your basic Gore shell but in a Mac style. I see no problem wearing it when there's a nice breeze. Veilance tends to fun small with the Field and Partition being the exception. I take a small in the Actuator and Composite. I've tried on a the Partition and there is more volume in the chest but not overwhelmingly so.

 

[Reactionnaire]

Thanks for the info. I feel like it might still be a bit too big for me, I should probably hold off until I can actually try it in person.

 

[John-Galt]

Fit shouldn't be an issue. Sleeve length will

Which Veilance is best for all round year use ? I was looking at the Composite but not sure about the different material used on the back of the jacket and how waterproof it is.

 

[John-Galt]

It's pretty much the same thing used on the Isogon, save a slighter denier. Depends on where you live. I would reason the Align or Field since they are robust on their own and can be layered with.
