I have the LPP, and this jacket, IMO is slightly smaller fitting than the LPP. If I wear a sweatshirt under the Wind River, its about maxed out. The LPP I can easily have heavy mid layer on underneath with plenty of room. I am a size Large on both. I am 5'11" and 200lbs. My LPP is also old. I got it back in 2015 so not sure how its changed since then.
It'll wet out in short order but it dries quickly once the rain quits.
Hi, Thanks for your post. Just one question do the material finish have a "shine" off itGents -the good folks at Rokslide (and Kifaru) have supplied me with a Wind River jacket. This is a wind jacket, what I've always referred to a windshirt. I'm a big proponent of windshirts- for the weight they are far and away the most versatile piece of clothing made imho.
What I'm looking for in a windshirt is wind resistance balanced with the ability to breathe (too much wind resistance usually results in a garment that won't breathe, too little and wind chills you quickly). I'm also looking for the ability to fend off light precipitation and light weight as well.
I received mine yesterday. Mine is a size Large and it fits just right (I'm 5'11" 180 lbs for reference).
It's only offered in one color (Ranger Green), but definitely a hunter friendly color.
It is very lightweight, mine weighs 4.4 oz- that's pretty svelte!
Full zipper. The hood, cuffs and hem have elastic to keep everything in place and weather out. One slash pocket that closes with velcro which also serves to pack the jacket into a very small form.
Look forward to putting it through it's paces in the upcoming weeks
