DEAR EVERYONE: i don’t know how but it seems like I’ve missed some amazing jackets from TNF and Patagonia Let me know if there are other jackets I missed!

@EK63315 Год назад

Take a look at the Patagonia Downdrift Jacket, I feel like it's right up your alley.

Arcteryx does have an even more 'high end' level and it's called Veilance. Check the Veilance Monitor coat.

@dBsdecibels Год назад

I've had a million jackets as I used to snowboard competitively, and these days I hike for landscape photography. I will say that if you want jackets with the most versatility, then get snowboard/ski jackets. You'll get all the technical features described here (gore tex [or alternatives], taped seams, variable baffling, etc), but you'll also get powder skirts, wrist gussets, and most importantly, zippered ventilation. The powder skirts are really only necessary for snow sports, but they can be removed otherwise. The wrist gussets are basically baffles that go over your hand like a partial glove, but then are worn beneath your actual gloves. They keep all cold air and snow out from around your wrists. If you don't need them, you can just slip your hands through them like a shirt sleeve. Finally, those zippered vents are a life saver if you're any kind of active. As soon as you start getting too hot, just pop open the vents and dump the heat quickly. One of the best jacket features. I generally refuse to buy a jacket without them. Also, digging the Speedy sapphire sandwich! Considering that or the Apollo 8 for my next watch. Enjoy Copenhagen! Had a 2 day layover there coming back from the Faroe Islands for photography. Picked up a great Japan Blue selvedge denim jacket from Brund while I was there!

@stedye Год назад

Man if you had to name 3-5 of your favorite brands for warmth , which brands and models would you say do it best ? Thanks in advance for your time .

@dBsdecibels Год назад

@@stedye There's not exactly brands for a single purpose. No company limits themselves like that. Brands generally try to span a gamut. The trick is really the purpose. If you want MAX warmth, then look into the jackets they use for arctic science trips. If you also need it to be light and un-bulky, then you'd want something used for mountain climbing. Snowboarding/skiing jackets are all about hot-cold-hot-cold, hence the priority on ventilation. Shop based on what you plan to do with the jacket, rather than brand.

@RLSteffler Год назад

@@dBsdecibels yeen name a single brand

@dBsdecibels Год назад

@@RLSteffler Why do I feel like you're trying to test me? Well, if you're going snowboarding or skiing, then I'd recommend Burton's AK line or Norrona. Ski brands tend to hit a higher price point and go the extra mile in technical features, but snowboard brands are great bang-for-buck. The Burton AK Expedition Down has a good feature set, including zippered vents. Lib Tech doesn't make outerwear any longer, but I was really impressed with their higher end offerings back when they were. Pretty impressed with Dakine as well. They'd didn't used to do outerwear, but they make good stuff these days. North Face Summit series are genuinely good for technical applications. They aren't designed for street wear so much as actual hiking or backcountry riding. They're designed more for layering, and aren't typically insulated, so not as relevant to this video. Same with Norrona. More technically focussed. Mountain Hardware has a good very high end line intended for actual mountaineering. Their lower price point stuff is decent, but their high end is truly good. That's a start. Hopefully something in there will be useful!

@htht856 Год назад

Wronggggg snowboarding jackets are good for snowboarding, not for everyday use. If you wore a snowboarding jacket in mild weather, you'd sweat like a pig. If you wore a snowboarding jacket hunting, you'd make a noise with every movement you make. Snowboarding jackets are good for snow recreation and snow environments.

@EK63315 Год назад

While I love both Patagonia and Arc'teryx, I see the two companies as specializing in different niches of the outdoor clothing market. For my more technical outdoor clothing like hiking gear - I lean towards Arc'teryx. For my more everyday/casual outdoor clothing I lean towards Patagonia. But that being said L. L. Bean is slowly creeping up on me in the same niche as Patagonia - got some flannels from them recently and they're great.

@jdlackey88 Год назад

Plus one to Bean flannel (chamois). I just got one of their signature archive ones and basically haven't taken it off in weeks lol. Plus it has a patch sewn on the inside, so I know Michael would appreciate that haha

@EK63315 Год назад

@@jdlackey88 Oh yeah I got one of those for like 50% off in an end-of-season sale with a super cool red plaid pattern. Unfortunately the patch sewn on the inside had stitching coming loose so I'm getting that fixed but it feels great. I like the slim fit especially, as a skinny dude a lot of flannels end up baggy on me.

Love the brands and love the video! Pretty much all of my tecnical stuff these days is from Patagonia, but a lot of my casual gear is LL Bean. Also wondering if you have checked out Fjallraven? Their waxed G1000 jackets are pretty cool and could make an interesting video, though they may not fit in with your style as they are a bit more "gorpy" if that makes sense. Love the content as always and excited to see what's next for the Iron Snail!

@kinslowrainer3982 Год назад

I'm glad you included Filson in there. I'm angling for one of their Tin Cloth or Cover Cloth jackets one day, possibly with their wool liner jacket, so it's nice to get reviews on their products every now and then.

@TheFutureisSteampunk Год назад

Most city people are only going to go outdoors in the winter to shovel snow.

@knifenutsdave Год назад

Curious what you think about Fjällräven, they're sort of like a Filson/Patagonia hybrid. Heritage/vintage inspired designs, durable, and a strong focus on environmental responsibility. They do neat things that I haven't seen other outdoor companies do, like use shredded wool as an insulator for coats.

@skandahooligan88 Год назад

I have the Fjallraven Vardag Lite jacket and I love it. The fact you can wax their G1000 fabric to suit your individual use case is great.

I am not looking into the safety suits, i am more of style over safety🐒 Thank you✌🏾

@WillMarcial Год назад

Some of my favorites: Crescent Down Works Down Sweater 60/40. Great price for what you get. very comparable to luxury down jackets. ie. Canada goose, moose knuckles, etc. Only negative is the zipper is mid... Montbell Plasma 1000 & Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisper ( 2 or UL). Amazing for winter actives, highly recommend pairing with a shell. Only negative is durability. For more budget friendly option, Decathlon or REI. If you run hot, consider a down vest, with a waterproof shell.

@ethemcan27 10 месяцев назад

What do you say about moose knuckles? I can’t chose between beta down insulated arcteryx and ONYX Big ridge moose knuckles. Onyx permorming insane heat tests.

@balakingston4684 10 месяцев назад

@@ethemcan27I can’t speak for moose knuckles as I haven’t tried, but I’ll share my logic and most important things I look at. What is the down rating and where do you intend to wear it? If you are using it as a jacket without layering, you’d want the rating to fit the temperature you’re going to be facing. What is the outer material? What ripstop rating does it have? For a down, I like a high ripstop rating, this keeps the insides in and prevents against breaks in the material. Is it water resistant? If not you might need a DWR, goretex or similar outer shell for rain. What is the environmental impact? Some of these might be interesting for you to consider as this type of clothing are what I’d generally consider an investment. Hence the reason I choose Patagonia, they offer vegan friendly insulated puffers and non goretex outerwear (perfectly fine from my testing). I only use goretex shoes, I have not found myself in a situation for actually needing anything else goretex. Another thing, what is the hood shape? Might sound odd, but this can be an absolute deal breaker for a lot of jackets! Advise - if you can, try it on before buying it! All of these brands sizing varies between each other. Hope that helps 🙏🏻

I’ve thought about selling it just to have a different winter go-to, but it just works so well, I can’t part with it. Well worth the 500$ (at the time) and have recommended it over and over.

@IGmeanwell Год назад

When it comes to the cold up here in the ADK I don’t really screw around. Base Layers will just give you more choices for your outer layer if you are concerned about style. That being said, when the wind chills hit -25F last weekend I’m immediately layering merino wool base layers, with an R1 fleece or Nano air mid layer, a lined hiking pant (I use Eddie Bauer First Ascent Guide pants, and lined guide pants.) and finally my hyper puff Belay jacket on top to keep my toasty for hours if I need. Sweating is your enemy so making sure moisture has a place to go is key. If I am out doing manual labor or plowing the driveway during a cold storm or laying down ice melt I have insulated Patagonia work bibs and a Carhartt Montana jacket that is also extremely warm for a synthetic insulation.

I am surprised that the creator chose Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka instead of the Frozen Range 3-in-1. I own the latter and usually only use the shell because I find shell pretty warm in itself. Given that I live in Alberta, I would say it is more than most people need.

I wouldn't touch TNF with a barge pole where I am. It is considered a "chav" brand here and Arc'teryx is becoming the same. You see far more Arc'teryx jackets being worn on a rainy day in Edinburgh then out in the Cullins or in Assynt. Patagonia you see everywhere, but by-far the most popular jackets in Scotland for actual outdoor enthusiasts is Paramo.

@jaxmanf Год назад

There’s a whole other component to down jacket warmth that is very important: the baffle type. All of the jackets here are a sewn-through baffle, which means the stitching is on both sides and meets to form lines where no insulation can sit. A box baffle has a piece of fabric that functions as a wall between each baffle, meaning you can sew the jacket together and not have any spots where no down sits. For high-fill jackets, this makes an enormous difference in warmth, as you don’t have cold spots in between each baffle. To visualize the difference better, a sewn-through baffle looks kinda like a DNA strand, where it alternates between a down cell and sewn portion. A box baffle looks like a brick wall, with no points where the insulation tapers off. Edit: See the Nunatak Skaha, Malachowski Icon Tourist, Patagonia AlpLoft Parka, or Montbell Mirage for examples

@TheIronSnail Год назад

I cut out the part where I spoke about baffles but SO true and FASCINATING!

@jaxmanf Год назад

@@TheIronSnail Probably a good call, baffles aren’t super important unless you want to save grams worth of weight and don’t have a jacket under a shell. Also small other note, the Arc’teryx uses synthetic insulation in those spots not just because it dries faster, but because it stays warm when it’s wet. Synthetic insulation can hold up to 90% of its warmth when soaked, depending on the fype. Down loses all of it.
