Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Alpha Shield Jacket:
I'm usually a Medium but vary between a S and M in EMS clothing. Glad I went with the M since it has a trim fit.
The fabric is windproof and has a slight stretch to it. That being said I would say this is more intended to be used as a winter jacket vs a traditional stretchy 3 season or highly active winter use softshell.
Pros
- Durable
- Flexable
- Warm
Cons
- Loose Fitting Waist-torso
- Only Chest Pockets
- Waisttorso Loose Fitting
Best Uses
- Biking
- Climbing
- Climbing Is Cool Weather
- Hiking
Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Alpha Shield Jacket:
Interesting cut/fit. I'm 6'0" with 30" waist with slim climber build. The shoulders fit quite snug but the waist is rather large on me. It has cinch cord, which is helpful, but I would prefer the overall fit to be consistent.
Sleeve length is perfect for me. I usually need to go up a full size because of my arm length, but not the case with this one.
I mentioned that it is good for climbing.. mainly I wear it when outdoors, but sometimes shed it when actually on the rock. It doesn't restrict my movement, but sometimes just prefer less layers. :)
If I could change something, I would make the cut of the torso slimmer, and possibly add extra pockets (front, or inner zipper).
