Beyond Clothing – Modus Jacket; The Lightweight Adventure Soft-shell

Thursday, May 14th, 2020

This softshell is the KYROS version of the renowned Rig Light Jacket from Beyond’s AXIOS collection. While the AXIOS line is the USA-made collection that Beyond Clothing has been fielding for years in some of the harshest environments in the world, the KYROS collection was developed with their 20+ years’ experience but utilizes international trade-compliant sourcing. Each KYROS piece is a solution that works within the Beyond Layering System, performs in the mountains and wears in a way that will fit in on a city streets… at a more accessible price point than the Rig Light counterpart.

Great solution for late spring/early summer adventures when the temps are in that mercurial 45-75f range or you are heading to a little bit of elevation.

The durable 4-way stretch, double-faced nylon polyester shell protects you from the wind and rain while remaining breathable for moisture transport. The inner face of the fabric is bamboo charcoal yarn which is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, moisture wicking and insulating.

Secure zippered chest, bicep and hand pockets
Hook & loop adjustable cuff tabs

Satu Adventure Pants

Friday, May 1st, 2020

The most interesting thing to me about the Satu Adventure Pants by Outdoor Vitals is the fabric story. They use a Japanese-designed mechanical stretch fabric by Toray. The proprietary weave and fabric construction makes them lightweight, flexible, strong, comfortable and fast drying. It’s an amazing wool-based blend that offers stretch without Spandex. They’ve boosted the fabric’s inherent anti-microbial properties with medical-grade MAKSPEC antibacterial weave. The fabric also features a DWR coating.

Yeah, they’re packed with features too.

Offered in a multitude of men’s and women’s sizes in Charcoal, Olive Green and Mud Brown.

Check out their DragonWool base layer system as well.

I’ll be the first to admit that with so many options, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose which Arc’teryx jacket is the right one for a given activity. I used one of the jackets during an ice climbing trip earlier this year. In fact, most of us on the trip were outfitted with one. Activities included hiking in crampons up and down trails to the various ice faces along and climbing up those faces. In between, time would be spent either belaying fellow climbers or standing around waiting for our turn to climb. So the conditions were much like a professional user. We had movement interrupted by sedentary periods. It was pretty cold (down to the teens) but warmed up if you could get in the sun. I never overheated in the jacket, but did vent the front zip during movement. Once we were on-site the Windstopper shell was welcome to shed some of the breeze that would occasionally pick up and dust us with loose powder. Because of this, I was glad I had the Hoody as I really added my Alpha LT Shell to the mix. As for pants, I wore Wool long underwear and Alpha Pants. Although I brought COLD WX LT [GEN2] Pants with me in my pack, I never bothered putting them on since I was able to move around enough to keep my legs warm. This is the way to go if you’ll be moving around in cold weather.

The COLD WX LT [GEN2] line is offered in Jacket, Hoody, and Pant, both in solid colors and MultiCam.
