Welder Review Part 1
By Adam Buchanan
December 17, 2008
The fit is awesome. I am 5'7 and the medium is great. The arms are long but because the cuffs are so low key and they don't have the crappy velcro strap I'm happy.
I took this running last night because it was 20 degrees last night and it did amazing. Really a good piece, but know that when people are saying its better then the Gamma AR, be careful because this fabric is like...insanely soft. Like really soft. So know that the fabric isn't the ultra gnarly hardish softshell like an ARC jacket.
That said, the welded seams are bomb. The mobility is great. I usually wear a medium and this works great for me, whereas ARC fits big so I am a small in them. Thats all for now.
