Mountain Equipment Size Guide:
The sizing of the garments makes allowance for whether they are close fitting or not and what they are designed to be worn with.
Take measurements wearing only baselayers/light clothing. The tape should be tight but not restrictive.
With a tape measure, measure your chest at the fullest part, keeping the tape horizontal.

Drilite® Loft is an extremely, breathable and water-resistant fabric.
A microporous Polyurethane coating provides a hydrostatic head of 1500mm to keep insulation drier in hostile environments
Fluorocarbon Free, products are defined as being FC-Free when no fluorocarbons have been used in the manufacturing process of the product’s major fabrics.
Components e.g. zips and minor trim e.g. interlinings are excluded.
Unfortunately, because FCs are now so widely dispersed in the environment it is impossible to eradicate traces of FCs entirely and some level of contamination cannot be avoided.
