Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hoodie vs Patagonia Storm10

Ideal pants would be on the slimmer side, have a cinch at the bottom to keep snow out and maybe fleece lined or just heavier material to keep the heat in and the wind out.

Our needs: we are avid hikers and own enough warm layers. We are looking to buy something that effectively shields us from rain and wind, also at prolonged use. My partner: he has the option to buy the Triolet at 50%off, which is super heavy duty, or the Storm10 also at 50% off, which he likes for its packability.

I'm a big guy with a few extra pounds so I need a XXL especially for layering. I thought all in all it was a good choice but would like to try their XL as I feel the sleeves run long.

And the predecessor, the most recent M10, I actually have one in a medium, which I'll be rolling in later. This was the hardest one to put into the st...

Edit; The XL sleeves are perfect. I’d think about sizing down on this jacket if you’re on the fence.

Finally, while the jacket packs down into tiny pockets of your pack, it doesn’t fit easily into the chest pocket, which is what Patagonia claims it does easily. There’s a carabiner loop on the inside of the chest pocket for easy clipping, but stuffing it all the way in there takes some work. Tough to get the M10 all the way into its chest pocket. Final Word Patagonia clearly spent time talking to backcountry travelers when designing the M10 rain jacket
