any one got one? are they any good, the size they pack down to looks incredible, after something lightweight for spring/summer showers, it also states its windproof.....my endura stealth is becoming too warm already to wear for long hauls 🙁

what is the sizing like? im usually a 36" chest in most clothes, but the colour i want they only have in small which is 38", will it still be a tight fit?? or are they quite baggy/loose??

any help really appreciated 🙂

I've got the featherlite smock and it is excellent. Packs down to nothing and will keep off a shower - I always carry one in the summer - just in case.

Not sure about sizing on the velo - my smock is quite generous (just as well!) but I think the velo may be more slim fitting

I've got a medium featherlight velo - I'm 41" chest with wide shoulders. It's on the small side - it pulls tight across my shoulders. It is, however, very close fitting. I'm a slim build and it doesn't flap about in the wind. I think really I should be a large.

I think you'd be fine with a small.

ive got one too, they are spot on for lightweight and size and quite often loop the bag fthrough belt loops on the back of my baggies, barely notice its there,
will keep a shower of fine, but prlonged use will result in a damp outfit! (but then its not meant for prolonged use!)
mines a XXL, but am a 46" chest, found the arms were a bit short,

brilliant! thankyou for your help, i am thinking it probably maybe a bit tight around the chest, for movement, and also if i have a thicker layer on underneath....

i just dont want it flapping like you said, and being loose baggy near the bum letting mud up etc

I have the featherlight smock and h20 jackets, my fav bits of kit, so small and light to carry everywhere...

I have large, the smock does flap a little, but the medium was way too tight...
