![]() ![]() But this piece looks like a good compromise. is too much I'm usually ok in thermal base layer + windshirt. Patagucci had a somewhat similar piece called a Dual Aspect a couple of years ago, they discontinued it suddenly like they do every good piece they make. More than a Proton LT. Looks like it breathes well, nothing really beats fleece. So the Uberlayer is probably about 1/3 warmer and about 1/3 heavier than the Nano-Air, and probably doesnt breath quite as well - but would be more appropriate in colder weather. $350 for a grid fleece lined softshell, ouch. The Uberlayer seems to be ORs answer to the Nano-Air, although it has 98g/m2 polartec Alpha while the Nano Air has 60 g/m2 fullrange. The acto with a Squamish will get you through most cold weather conditions fwiw My other active insulation jackets except a photon and ventrix which are reserved for more relatively stagnant activities. Im thinking of buying the new Outdoor Research uberlayer very similar look. The ascendant jacket seems to be the most breathable of the bunch but even while skinning or running for a sustained period in temps 0-15 degrees it needs to be removed.īest jacket imo for activity with high breathability is the arc’teryx acto. The Atom SV was replaced by the Atom AR (source: Arcteryx Q&A boards) and is. ![]() To me they are great for activities like ice climbing and rock climbing where your working but have rests etc at belay stations. my proton lt is sambal.Akafaultline wrote: I’ve used pretty much all the active insulation jackets and regardless of which one it is-once you get exercising enough and working hard enough they all need to be shed. I will be adding a little patch to its arm red external trim with black interior. I've pretty much sold it to myself already, would love to read more stories of users in legitimate backcountry scenarios with these pieces, wrestling on optimal layering in order to keep the temps regulated and to stay dry.įinal thought would you get your proton fl in dynasty or black? If it was sold in beacon I wouldnt even have this discussion it would be mine already. in light to light/moderate precip i often wont even put on my shell and keep the softshell gamma or proton lt as my external layer, the air permeability is a God send. The water resistance of the fl really appeals to me over the delta mx because i will play in all weather not just fair weather. If i'm meandering then lt is great, but concentrated efforts it starts to overheat a little. I love the proton lt on cooler days, but even then i play in the BC coast mountain range and i find that it is oft a little warm for high output activity in the proton lt. The proton fl literally cuts the system weight in half. but its a lot more space and bulk in two pieces. its nice being able to strip off either to regulate temperature. as i see it i own the proton fl's components, fleecy insulation in the delta, and water resistant durable exterior in the gamma sl. The Uberlayer aims to top the heap of the new synthetic wonderjackets, promising the capacity to handle huge ranges of temperatures under a full range of aerobic loads. I am a self propelled engine that produces a lot of heat on the ascent, but i get fairly chilly when not moving. I am transitioning into more of a softshell user. Is the proton fl worth it if I own a proton fl and delta mx fleece. This question is for those who see many days in the mountain.
