Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone got one? Do you have the Lt or the Sv? I am looking to layer it under a Arcteryx stingray 3 layer goretex and wonder if the Sv will be too bulky and overkill.
Thanks

I've got a Sidewinder SV pro shell & the SV layer was defo too bulky when I tried it in the store. Bought a couple of Lt's (non hoody) & one of those with a thin base layer is perfect down to minus high teens after which I then add the other Lt from my backpack.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I was looking at these the other day as well as I've been really cold skiing recently. They are very nice but very pricey, again would like to hear from anyone who has one, how warm are they? I don't know if I was looking at the LT or SV, it was £180 though

I've got the hooded version of the LT. It's very light and extremely warm for its weight so I only really use as a mid-layer, on the coldest days, under an Arcteryx Fury soft shell. I don't find the LT at all bulky under the top layer. I sometimes wear it as a top layer on warmer days over an Icebreaker T-shirt. They are expensive but do what they do very well.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for that; general advice so far seems to be that the sv would be too much as a mid layer, unless below -20C regularly. Hunt on the internet; Ultimate outdoors do the sv for £ 150 or so. It would go under my 3 year old Arcteryx stingray, a fantastic jacket which I have used for multisports, year round, from -40C in Canada to summer in the UK.

i have an atom LT and it is quite warm and not bulky at all. i have tried it at hemel and it is fine for -2 to -5 without an over shell havent used it yet under my sidewinder but i would think like spyderjon, would be great up to -20...

Got a sv hoody for £150, Mrs got a lt same price; incredibly warm, windproof and light. Also does not overheat indoors, so very flexible. Cant fault it.
