  1.  

    SOLD, thanks everyone.

    The lightweight Arc'teryx Veilance Blazer LT is a sleek and versatile piece of outerwear that fits trim, but can wear more like a shirt with its stretch woven plain weave techno fabric and gusseted underarms.

    Good to very good condition. If you need any more pics or other measurements just ask. 

    Shoulder to shoulder (rear): 19 inches
    Chest width (pit-to-pit, front): 22 inches
    Sleeve length (from shoulder seam): 26 inches
    Pit-to-pit measurement might be a bit bigger than I list, the sleeve does not join in a traditional manner.Shipping (boxed, tracked, signature) is at cost, eg. US/Canada is $23 USD, UK is $25 USD.

    Thanks for looking.

  2. I've read through this forum and have a few questions for those familiar with Veilance, specifically the Blazer LT and the Mionn IS vest. Ideally, I would try these items on to gain first hand knowledge however I don't a Veilance stockist nearby.

     

    1) I've read it's recommended to size up +1 with the Veilance Blazer LT and Mionn IS vest -- is this a correct ? My measurements are 6'1", 200 lbs, 43 in chest...looking at size XL in both pieces rather than size L.

     

    2) Will the Blazer LT work for tropical (warmer) weather...or should I view it as more of a cold weather coat/jacket? I travel to humid, rainy climate for work and typical blazers/sportcoats aren't an option. The Blazer LT seems like it may by a better, more lightweight alternative.

     

    3) If the Mionn IS is slim fitting would it fit under an Atom LT (both size XL)?

     

    I'm interested in other pros/cons and experience anyone may have.  Cheers.

     

    Previously I would have said the Mionn IS jacket should be sized up one from your usual Veilance size (hard to be sure of that before you start buying any!). But now I think my non-sized-up S is an overall better fit then the M I also got. Just a little constricting across the back if I reach forward. It would less of a potential problem with the vest. An S is also my mainline Arc'teryx jacket size.

     

    The small Mionn IS jacket (last years) and small Blazer LT (this years) both have the same rear shoulder to shoulder measurement in the way I measure (fairly taut, 18").

     

    I can fit the small Mionn IS jacket under a small Atom LT, but it does stick out at the front bottom a bit due to the higher cut of the Atom. So the vest should be fine overall.

     

    I've only had the Blazer LT a week or two and it's summer so I've only worn it a couple of times. Really like it, but it can be a little bit noisy, a bit swishy, especially when donning and doffing. I think the pockets are better (esp. the internal ones) than the Mionn IS jacket.

  3. How does the Blazer LT fit? Go with your typical Veilance jacket size or size up like you would for the Tessellate and the Frame shirts?

     

    Extending on this question, size up one for Frame shirts is recommended? Any other items to size up on? Cheers.
