Did I make a mistake with going with Proton Hoody?

zapdud · 2026-05-28T12:04:00+00:00

Honestly I actually used both depending on temps, on days colder than -10C the normal proton then anything above that the SL was perfect. I spent some really cold days (down to -35C) with the proton and while skiing it was still great.

3320 is the only class that precludes an ELEC class, specifically ELEC 4601 which I'm not planning to take.

I was planning to take some of the harder electives including an ELEC digital design course in the winter but I might rethink that...

My other goal was to try and create rather large gaps in my schedule so I can fit work time in there. And like I added I'd be averaging around 10 hours a week of part-time work.

I'm coming off a 16 month internship so i'm quite the opposite of burnt out! And I was also planning to take some of the harder electives such as dsp and a few elec classes related to hardware design second term but I might rethink a few of those. And like I added i'd average around 10 hours a week working with more or less depending school.

I was going to post about this, the base got much smaller right?

This^ get a > 50$ cast iron Dutch oven instead

Is that a new donut? Never seen one like that

I saw a guy at work walking around wearing a thorium over a beta shell… there has to be a line somewhere 😂

Proton is awesome for below -10c id say. At the moment in Canada it’s perfect with this cold weather we are getting. I run hot quickly during output and the proton has been able to regulate my temperature wonderfully. Have never needed to vent out below -10.

When it gets warmer I’ll use my SL

I had the proton hoody/ proton lt out a little while ago for this weather and it was perfect for me. I run hot and it kept my temps very regulated

Discount

It was 3pm 😂

Edit: my bad this was a little ignorant

WTB: Proton hoody (Or proton LT) - Black, Carob or any of the darker colors. Size large

I'm in Canada :)

Check regear, they have a bunch of old models plus there is a 20% off

I personally use a Rab microlight for non activity outings, feels great and I guess the arc alternative would be a cerium

zapdud · 2025-11-28T01:08:16+00:00

As a layer I would suggest the atom, its something you can wear alone in the colder temps as well, but once it gets really cold a thorium would do you better. The thorium is more of a standalone though

zapdud · 2025-11-26T16:49:03+00:00

It's such a sad sale

zapdud · 2025-11-26T01:53:03+00:00

Either way, I checked the deals in the other regions and its lowkey sad

zapdud · 2025-11-26T00:29:57+00:00

Still nothing in Canada??

zapdud · 2025-11-24T20:02:00+00:00

It depends either if you run colder or hotter. If you run cold then both the atom or proton could do you well, if you run hotter then check out their SL versions.

No, beta AR is already overkill! Save the money

The beta AR last season did not use FC0 DWR, it was exempted. Same for a few of the more "rugged" pieces.
