I’m looking to order one of these soon, I’m about the same height and weight. Is it LG in European sizes or US sizes?? I like the way it fits on you and don’t want it to be massive because I usually wear an XL in US sizes. I’m looking at the XXL European size because it supposedly fits like a US XL.

Best of the bush craft range Generous in size Down side not good for squally irish weather.but love the jkt . Woodsman and mistral same pity they are not designed for more temperate climate. Would love if they did and call it the hibernia range. Great products keep on working and innovating.....

Hi RB. It's a hard answer as it's tricky. If I had to chose at this point I'd chose the Woodsman, however that's because I know it better as it's the one I've had the longest, however I think I'd be able to answer this better come March/April. I'm 100% going to do a follow up on this jacket. I hope that helps. James is right below though... The larger longer side zips on the Woodsman are very annoying and frustrating when you're taking it on and off

So had mine for around 5 months now. Not really impressed. Not as durable as I had imagined and a fair amount of stiching has come undone and the material is suprisingly easy to rip and doesn't stitch back up to well. I like the look of it and the way the pockets are set up, but got an Olive SAS smock off ebay from GS surplus with an MVP lining for 69 quid and it's miles better and has been more durable.

Just brought a 3XL as I have a 54 inch Chest. I like the build quality and materials used but the measurements showed that it should be about 58 inches. Doesn't feel like that at all and is very tight. Dunno if its just that my jacket was built slightly off of what, because I also own a Blizzard Jacket and that feels a hell of a lot bigger.

Looking at the size chart on their US website - a 54” chest should be between a Large (53.5”) and an XL (56”). The 2XL is for a 58” chest. And it appears the built in room for layering. Did you order your “normal”US size? I found the AMZ reviews on sizing to be confusing and not match the size chart size

@@brianleighton8349 Yeah mine was a 3xl EU which is the 2XL US. Got my father and Uncle to try it out as well as the are both 54" and 52" chests, fit my father but no way was he getting layers under it and was tight at the waist. So I think the sizing is out, because I brought a windrunner recently and that fits great, same as their SFU shirt.

Great job. Ive had my anorak for 2years 2winters 2 springs ...... as for the mesh liner. Ive found it creates a micro layer of air and does add to heat retention (if only a very small amount of heat reantion. I think it prevents any kind of thermal bridge from happenin between the Duracanvas and your body. Brillient piece of kit. Im in southern ontario in Canada. I wear my pilgrram year round.

Something I've found with the mesh liner is that it not only provides a little bit of insulation but it also wicks quite well, which makes the anorak a real 3 or even 3.5 season outer layer. Tech wash also works a treat with the anorak. Doesn't make it waterproof but it will let it shrug off a shower.

Hmmmmmm... you may have got me on that one fella. My head says the Woodsman... only because I've had it for some long and I've put it through a lot. In the design it's a far simple anorak and that plays to it's strengths. The super long side zippers do my nut in though. When it's on they're fine, but can come open with your putting it on and off. However, I think the Pilgrim has way more potential as a single garment solution for more seasons. Having worn this in the summer it does get hotter than the Woodsman, however you can manage the heat so much better with all of the pockets and armpits open. Plus in the colder months there may not need to be the need for an insulation layer underneath (I generally am quite warm blooded). It's a hard one really fella. I'm definitely going to do a follow up this one as that autumn/winter period will help to answer this with more confidence. There's also the Mistral too. I've spoken with Mil 1st and I have some shorts on the way, however I might ask about the Mistral next
