Flylow Quantum Pro vs Strafe Alpha Direct Insulator

It really proved itself by keeping me sheltered when temperatures dipped well into the negatives in Japan and I was stuck on a stopped chairlift for 45 minutes due to high winds. And my experience was similar on foul-weather days while touring: I stayed warm and cozy while skinning and descending without any moisture or wind creeping through the shell. When it comes time to batten down the hatches, the Quantum Pro comes well-equipped. First, the jacket’s seam taping has held up nicely with no delamination to date, and the premium YKK waterproof zippers are a quality touch that add a good dose of assurance against moisture seeping in

This jacket is fantastic, I am 5'3 and 130lbs, ordered a small fits perfect. Polar tech alpha is one of the very best insulators on the market

This is the Quantum Pro jacket. This is a classic fly low piece. It's our most burly three layer shell that we have in the line. It will keep you warm

Very happy with this jacket! It's warm, light, weather resistant and very breathable. I bought it for backcountry skiing. Something I could use for both the up and down. This seems to be nearly as warm as a polarfleece jacket with less weight, more breathability and more weather resistant

I could probably get away with a large but I like the added length and I also wanted layers. doesn't feel too big. I like a longer/taller fit in a jacket. snow skirt works well plus there is a cinched

Have a Cosmic Trew Gear shell and ski this with a light baselayer and have bib (little extra warmth in lower torso). Bought a medium. 5'10" 175 pounds, fits really nicely which is snug which is what i want for fit in a midlayer. Color is awesome, i want to wear this as a light jacket but the truth is its just too snug unless youre going for that look
