I struck again.
With the sale price, you don't hesitate for long, thanks to the convincing quality of Grüzibag products. Although I find the rather high starting price fair, I'm glad I was able to snag my fourth Grüezi bargain here. This is now my third jacket. I have both the Faithful in L and XL, and (from now on) the Lightful XL (I'm 1,86m tall). The Lightful has (strategically) shorter sleeves; the Faithful, on the other hand, has extra-long sleeves. Both are the same length at the cuff, provide similar warmth, and are equally lightweight. Although designed for outdoor use, they almost look too good for that... And everyone says, "What a cool jacket you're wearing!" I'm torn between L and XL. L fits close to the body and looks better if you're going for a fashionable look, while XL appears more voluminous, slightly baggy, but offers more warmth and room for a sweater underneath. Therefore, L for the city and XL for outdoors. I also have the DownWool Summer sleeping bag (the thicker one, not the ultralight). It's just as warm, dry, and warm enough even in autumn. Personally, though, I only like the earthy tones or the navy blues. I find all the bright colors from Grüezi Bag terribly garish, but all outdoor manufacturers seem to have this habit these days, and it's simply a matter of taste. Luckily, Grüezi Bag offers plenty of muted colors.
