Arc'teryx and Veilance Thread

Spoke to the warranty department and the Therme will be returning next winter. 

I wonder if it'll have a two way zipper.

thoughts on Mion IS jackets?

@brokeassp I absolutely love mine! It hasn't been the right combination of cold + wet yet this year to warrant wearing it under my field jacket, but I wear it on its own a lot. Great silhouette, breaks the wind, and provides good warmth for the weather where I live so far this year (around 5 degrees Celsius).

any fit pics? are there drawstrings on the cuff and hem?

Thoughts on the monitor down jacket and the mionn vest?

The monitor down jacket is very warm and wonderfully constructed. I believe it is one of the most insulated jackets in the Veilance lineup. It wasn't right for me as it would be too much for a D.C. winter but I imagine it'd be perfect in colder climes.

Well I just received the 2013 Therme in Black from the warranty department and to my surprise it DOES have a 2-way zipper. Usually wear a small in Veilance and I think I should have downsized to a XS in the Therme; still the small looks great. Glad I took peoples advice on the Therme, much warmer than any Veilance jacket.

 

[Caligari]

Nice! I'd heard that change was coming. Glad you like the Therme it's quite amazing.

 

[NicholasEdwin]

It is, can not even tell the difference in quality compared to the made in Canada Veilance. I guess they must have took out the 2-way zipper on the 2014 versions.

The one I just received through retail also has a two way zipper.

Overall it's a beautifully constructed and subdued appearing parka. However, it doesn't fit my body type, and it's nothing that a size change will fix. I bought a small and the arms are a touch long and way too tight, and the chest is a snug. A medium would be way too long in the arms and the parka length would be at my knees.

 

[Caligari]

There never was a 2 way zipper this is new.

 

[NicholasEdwin]

Really, wow interesting. Never would have guessed they would have sent me the new one.

Picked up this season's Monitor Down coat. The patterning is incredible - it's uncanny how they've managed to design a full fledged down parka to be so comfy and flattering.

Glad you're enjoying yours!
