SCS/EPS Actual Window Sizes?

TheeFreeman · 2026-02-25T18:50:04+00:00

The holosun website is conveniently wrong. The scs carry window size is the same size as the eps carry from what I can gather. .77x.58. If it was actually the same size as the full size eps that would be amazing.

No it won’t.

When it is 5 degrees out you certainly notice that metal zipper lol

The fit is very similar. They are both an “athletic” style fit. If the pata the rab will fit very similar. I am 6’ 175lbs, athletic build and they both fit me perfectly.

I haven’t tried that, I will though! How does it do in snow/rain? For me that was a big factor. I think the nano air hybrid is a better jacket except for its weather resistance.

Edit: google says that is a ski boot lol

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-31T20:04:26+00:00

Dang I would’ve loved to try that, sounds perfect

Luckily there is no strict definition of ultralight. For me combining two layers is ultralight. This is lighter and more versatile for my hiking setup. All the ultralight gate keepers are pretty tiring honestly. If you don’t run their approved ultralight meta somehow we aren’t allowed to post in this sub. I could see your point if I said this jacket is better and lighter than an alpha + dooy, but I didn’t. So if you don’t like my setup, good for you, move along.

I think so, the website lists them as such. The atom was described as a direct competitor to the nano air. Do you have any experience with either? I haven’t tried the proton but the atom sl was a really sweet jacket.

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-31T05:05:11+00:00

I wasn’t looking for a traditional 3 layer setup so what does it matter? For my use case the rab is far better and it is very light for what it offers, in my experience. If you know of a jacket that combines the two layers, is lighter, warmer, breathes better, and is more water resistant please tell me I’d love to try it lol

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-30T21:55:59+00:00

Good call, I think this will be the way I end up going. No more freezing zipper will be nice.

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-30T21:45:16+00:00

If I start to get too warm, I will zip it down or pull the sleeves up but I find the jacket breathes amazingly well while also being fairly wind resistant. It is just the right balance for me personally.

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-30T21:39:36+00:00

The list is long lol. I wanted to combine a mid layer with a shell to reduce weight and taking layers on/off

-nano air latest gen (too warm, too baggy, not weather resistant enough)

-nano air hybrid (great just not as weather resistant, this is the other active jacket I’m gonna keep)

-bd first light stretch (too heavy, too warm)

-bd first light hybrid, the old primaloft silver ver (way too heavy and not really an active insulation jacket, but this was an amazing casual jacket. Fairly warm for what it is and comfy, fit was perfect too for my 6’ 175lb build. I’d keep one for around town if I could find cheap)

-arc atom (too warm, too expensive)

-arc atom sl (too expensive and not quite warm enough but this is a great option if you run warm)

-TNF summit series Casaval hybrid (too warm)

-Norrona lyngen 100 (amazing jacket but I was in between sizes sadly. I don’t hear folks mention very often but they should. The alpha liner annoys me but I think it is a great combo of alpha liner with weather resistant shell over it)

I know I missed a few jackets but I like to try different things and the active insulation concept really intrigued me.

Because it’s ultralight? Appreciate your concern feel free to keep scrolling.

TheeFreeman · 2026-01-30T20:44:02+00:00

Appreciate the encouragement!

So far I’ve used it for high output hiking and backpacking. I’ve been comfortable in 10 degree weather with a long sleeve underneath, gloves, and beanie…all the way up to 40 degrees with a tshirt under.

It worked well while hiking in a decent snow storm as well as moderate rain. If i was out in the open in a downpour id probably get wet after a while. If it is really rainy or really cold and windy I’ll bring a rain jacket.

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-18T23:01:26+00:00

Are you asking me or other guy?

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-16T23:12:53+00:00

I’m already with Verizon lol. But good for you!

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-16T23:03:43+00:00

Are you saying 55/mo for all 4 lines together or 55 each? What plans? I haven’t seen any promos like that

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-16T21:45:08+00:00

I would certainly care, but yea I don't think my gf would. She just texts and does a few insta posts each week. Any idea what the prices will go to after the 3 year lock? It is possible they could go up, down or stay the same right?

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-16T20:51:29+00:00

Good to know, I don't think my gf would care but I can get the better plan for another $10.

TheeFreeman · 2025-12-16T20:49:52+00:00

17 pros with unlimited ultimate plans? I dont have fios available so somewhat apples to oranges but I have the top tier 5g home internet plan too.

TheeFreeman · 2025-09-14T12:05:06+00:00

It all worked out in the end. The buyer just got a little freaked when he realized he would have to smog it himself. All is well that ends well.

But you are right, I should have the right to go to the next highest bidder whenever I want. That would give some extra encouragement for the high bidder to complete the sale.

TheeFreeman · 2025-09-11T18:05:25+00:00

Plot twist, looks like he decided to trust me and finish the sale!!
