DESCRIPTION OF LD TRILOGY WDS ACTIVE JKT
New this summer, this jacket is designed for the keen mountaineer and built for for technical mountaineering and fast ascent, allowing rapid and free movement with a lightweight and longwearing abrasion resistant fabric. Trilogy Series The WDS Active delivers high performance and allows rapid and free movement with an Alpine Fit™ that reduces bulk around the body without restricting movement. A raglan sleeve pattern design protects high wear areas by reducing abrasion points particularly vulnerable to wear from pack straps and the articulated pattern design allows a great deal of elbow room. The ergonomic balaclava hood cinches naturally and securely to move with the head, increasing freedom and peripheral visibility.Because we aimed at shaving grams without sacrificing weather protection, we chose a lightweight and longwearing abrasion resistance fabric: The Windstopper® Activ Baquila 2L shell fabric is lighter and less bulky than the plain Windstopper®. It offers complete windproof protection and maximum breathability as well as water repellency. With its 30-denier ripstop outer and textured yarns, it combines friction resistance with flexibility. To enhance next-to-skin comfort, a breathable and soft mesh fabric lines the front and back of the jacket. With chest pockets sitting high for accessibility and pack and harness-compatibility, the WDS Active jacket is deal for mountaineering and climbing on rock and ice adventures. Trilogy gets its name from the challenge Éric Escoffier and Christophe Profit, mountaineers from the Millet team, had set: A solo peak bagging winter ramble of the three North faces (Eiger, Cervin, Jorasses).In the field of mountaineering equipment, Trilogy is the quintessence of alpine performance. This summer, the Trilogy series delivers high performance with streamlined designs and one goal in mind: light weight and energy efficiency.This jacket is also rated as a Low Impact™ and Bluesign® product, which means any harmful substances is eliminated right from the beginning of the manufacturing process of the component(s) and standards for an environmentally friendly and safe production are set and controlled.

( FEATURED REVIEW )

Let me start off with some information that may help folks with sizing. When reading all the reviews here and on other sites, there was no doubt this would be an excellent and durable jacket; however, the data points regarding size by height and weight were all over the place. Granted, there isn't a right answer for everyone regarding the appropriate fit of the jacket so I'll let you know what worked for me. I'm right at 6' 0" and weight generally stays around 170 and have a reasonably fit build. My torso and arms are a little longer than normal and typically, if I can find it, a medium tall fits me perfectly. However, many manufacturers don't start including tall sizes until you get into large size jackets and up. Also, I have several other Carhartt jackets and oddly enough I typically need to get a large or sometimes even an xl to fit my arms (sounds odd I know). Another data point - in suits or sport coats I typically wear a 41L.

So, I couldn't find anywhere locally that carried this exact jacket so I rolled the dice and ordered a large from Amazon knowing they have an awesome return policy. Well, as it turns out, I got lucky and the large fits me absolutely perfectly. Plenty of length in the arms and body but not too bulky. I could easily get a sweatshirt on under but its not like I'm swiming in the jacket. If I have one complaint it is that the arms are just a tad baggy but I'm positive if I had gotten a medium it would have been too short in the arms and body and possibly a little tight in the chest. The extra room in the arms doesn't really bother me and it doesn't look bad, just a little more bulk/room than I would prefer in a perfect world.

Overall, as it is clear in other reviews, this is an incredibly warm and durable jacket. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
