Any of you lovely folk have one of these?

I'm in between a L and XL, more towards the XL I guess, according to the size chart for my chestical measurement (a medium for the waist)...... Just wondering what you'd all suggest size wise?

Would use it more for riding than anything else, most liking with just a base layer underneath.....

Any help much appreciated as well as any other suggestions for a decent but cheap softshell.

Cheers all

I'm waiting for the packable one to arrive and then I'll let you know, along with a few other parcels. They've gone into an Evri black hole since last week...

I’d go smaller, they are pretty big for their marked size. I’m normally an XL in mtb tops and jackets but the large is perfect with a ls base layer underneath. Still room for another layer as well but never needed as they are really warm.

6ft2 43inch chest and XL (packable) is a good fit for me.

I've got an XL and I'd say they're on the generous size with the sizing

I've had it about two years and they are an excellent jacket. It gets used all the time on and off the bike. A quality bit of kit and an absolute bargain on CRC at the moment

Cheers chaps, I'll go for a large in the hope I can squeeze myself into it..... They are stretchy right? 😁

I've got the orange one from a couple of years ago. XL 45" chest. Love it. Only issue I have is that the hood is massive and could really benefit from a volume reducer on the back.

Edit: actually just realised mine is the Nirvana not Blackline

Yeah I'd downsize. I'm a large in everything but my large Blackline is more like an XL

As above normally a large but this large is too big. Just wish you could pack the hood away some how, it's great when its up but its like a parachute when its down.

Mine have arrived, both packable waterproof and the windproof.

I'm between medium and large and the mediums I ordered are both plenty big enough. Windproof is amazingly light, both very packable. No loop on either to hang up them up though!
