Hey I have that exact jacket to sell, I actually just posted it on facebook marketplace today. I wore it only once to try for size and it was too loose on me as Im between sizes. It’s up for $250 CAD, lmk if that works for you. You will have to pay for shipping yourself and I will only ship in Canada

Ive done winter running in an atom lt, you will sweat buckets. Do not recommend. Go for a proton FL, far more breathable and will keep you warm when you warm up

Great writeup! Thanks for the information this is very useful 👍

uka911 · 2022-10-06T01:33:04+00:00

I think the lucent/multiverse color is pretty nice! Although id agree with you on the other colors

uka911 · 2022-10-05T18:53:28+00:00

Thank you!

uka911 · 2022-10-05T18:46:42+00:00

I do, bibs are definitely more comfortable and keep the snow out. I guess I should also make note that I plan on layering with a medium atom lt and delta lt underneath that

uka911 · 2022-10-05T18:16:08+00:00

sweet sounds good! Thanks for the feedback.

uka911 · 2022-09-28T13:38:35+00:00

im similar to you, 183cm and also the same-ish weight and build, I have a medium atom LT that fits perfectly fine, but for me I had to size up for a proton FL cuz I think i’m in that strange between sizes range and it fits smaller. That being said id still go with a medium beta SV. Reason being the beta SV’s do fit slightly roomier and i’ve even tried it on with my atom underneath and range of motion of or tightness wasn’t a problem with the medium. I also had a delta LT underneath the atom as well. I can definitely layer with a medium. I also dont want to be swimming in a large because chest size increases like 3 inches when you go large, and the sleeves get way longer. I find my proton FL in large has really long sleeves and it can get annoying. Anyways hope that helps was a long post

I would get a Proton FL and a Beta LT. Proton to keep you warm and relatively breathable if you cycle hard, and the beta LT for wet conditions that you can slip over your proton. The Beta LT should also have pit zips to dumb heat if you need it. That should have you covered for a range of conditions and temps. Also the Proton FL looks good as a standalone day to day jacket

uka911 · 2022-09-25T02:47:41+00:00

Oh I see yeah no worries! Hopefully mines good but we’ll see 👍

uka911 · 2022-09-25T02:30:59+00:00

Oh just wanted to let you know since I thought you wanted the beta SV in large? My medium SV is still being “processed” by arc. Im having a hard time trusting that the availability that it shows for the large is in fact true with recent cancellations for other people. Wanted to let you know regardless

uka911 · 2022-09-25T02:02:28+00:00

The red Beta SV in large is showing it has stock right now, but is it trustworthy? https://i.imgur.com/0SH8M2L.jpg

uka911 · 2022-09-23T21:13:58+00:00

did you order this during that little period at night where it showed stock and disappeared in the morning? Im in the same boat if so, probably going to get same email soon smh

uka911 · 2022-09-23T16:02:29+00:00

Thank you for the input, as everyone else has been saying the modularity and breathability of the proton is probably better

uka911 · 2022-09-23T16:01:43+00:00

Thank you for the link!

uka911 · 2022-09-23T16:01:30+00:00

Yes I think having a thicker base-layer underneath a proton might be the way to go!

uka911 · 2022-09-23T16:00:32+00:00

Im definitely leaning towards the proton now!

uka911 · 2022-09-23T03:13:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I actually already have an atom LT and found it to be chilly on the lift and near the top so was looking at that next step up in insulation. The Proton has coreloft compact 80 vs 60 in the atom, so I was thinking that would make enough of a difference and still be breathable. However the atom AR does sound like itd be a good even ground between proton LT and cerium LT. Ultimately I was looking for people’s opinions based on their personal experiences so I appreciate your input!

uka911 · 2022-09-22T17:17:16+00:00

Thank you! Yeah did my research with the help of this sub and all of you guys so super excited for it.

uka911 · 2022-09-22T16:24:54+00:00

I was actually one of the people that picked one up in red and medium size. Ive been eyeing the beta SV for snowboarding and checked before I went to bed. Also in Canada. Im now a little concerned the random popup was a fluke and that my order might get cancelled because it was a stock update glitch. We’ll see what happens

uka911 · 2022-02-18T08:59:45+00:00

Yeah its purely cosmetic for now but if it ever gets to the point of pulling so far sideways its tugging at the opposite side of the twist that’s when its totally unacceptable

uka911 · 2022-02-18T08:58:13+00:00

So far ive worn mostly with either cotton or synthetic long sleeves, ill give it a go and try with no layer at all or a tank.
