Looking to replace my Prism jacket as I have lost weight and it feels too big.

I have loved this jacket, its my go to jacket.

Anyone have any of the new versions?

Still as good as it ever was - have a look for 'Mountain Kit' on eBay, that's the Montane Outlet Store.

Not sure what counts as the new version. But I bought one a year or two ago. I'd say the zip feels a bit smaller and cheaper. And the pockets are a bit higher. Aside from that, all good.

I have one. Zips are higher for more access with a harness. Still need to keep moving to stay warm!

Double check the sizing

I've got an older Prism in Medium and a newer Flux in Large and they are exactly the same size

Just seen the link above. That's not the jacket I have. Didn't realise they'd released a completely new style.

I have also seen the Flux, but I am guessing its a lot warmer and heavier than the Prism.

By chance I was just looking at new Prisms. Don't so much like the new dual colour style.

I have one, it's snuggly buggly.

Original prism was best jacket I ever owned. New model is just as good but cut a bit more snug, main zip is much better and has chest pocket. Doesn't unfortunately have the two wee reflective bits on the rear of the shoulders.

Flux meant to be a 'light' belay jacket, but I also find it to be smaller (slimmer) than the same size prism.
