Why do they always tell you it’s a tiny pack but never show you the tiny pack size/a comparison

@ryanmat96 We're doing a jacket test in an upcoming mag - just in the process of identifying suitable items for scale! Grapefruit? Apple? Coke can?

Best keep it local, maybe a Vocation Brewery Love & Hate 440ml can?

So two way zips are an update and yet they have neglected to use one for the front of the jacket, when you're enjoying the flow but are too warm the front is the easiest part of the jacket to vent, not some underarm difficult to reach on the move pit zips, they so nearly got it right.

Cool, some more Endura stuff that will rarely be in stock 🙂

I do like the idea of a gillet.

I do not like the idea of spending so much money then falling off and ripping it.

Anyone seen weight or pack sizes of the gilet? Nothing obvious on the Endura website …..

@simonr Sigma Sports lists the weight as 150g in size M. Nothing anywhere about the insulation density. Both such basic information for outdoor clothing, but omitted. I guess all their effort went into that marketing video, or they deliberately don't disclose it.

Asked Endura about the insulation weight (gsm) of the gilet. They replied with the garment weight of the jacket...
