Kyanite легкая куртка

Great simple zip up: Good fit, nice and light, not too warm. Perfect for getting past the chill then stuff it away once you're warmed up

Куртка мега-удобная и очень легкая. Размер S весит 273 г, размер M весит 283 г. Молнии работают очень плавно, бренд YKK. Несмотря на то, что ткань эластичная, молнии не идут волнами (волны могут появляться на некоторых худи на молнии, если она слишком длинная или если ткань садится). Внешняя поверхность гладкая, не собирает ворс и не скатывается. У двух внешних карманов есть молнии. Куртка супер стильная и выглядит реально круто. Единственное разочарование — у нее нет внутренних карманов. У большинства курток/худи есть внутренние карманы на молнии или без — их очень легко добавить, так как на внешние карманы все равно тратится лишняя ткань. Но у Kyanite их нет, и я считаю, что это упущенная возможность. Если бы были внутренние карманы, я бы буквально не знал, как сделать этот продукт еще лучше. Он почти идеален. Я протестировал два цвета — "black" и "black sapphire". Черный (black) определенно более универсальный и подходит ко всему. Черный Kyanite — это идеальная универсальная куртка, которую можно носить практически на любой случай с любым гардеробом, и она всегда будет выглядеть отлично. Black sapphire — тоже чудесный цвет, и если сочетать его с чем-то беловатым или молочным, он выглядит невероятно красиво и даже лучше чисто черного. Но он не такой универсальный и, например, не так хорошо смотрится с джинсами. Так что black sapphire выглядит лучше (и определенно стильнее), чем black, если подобрать удачное сочетание цветов, но таких сочетаний меньше. Я бы с удовольствием купил оба, но если выбирать один, я бы выбрал черный. Я прикрепил фото, где видно разницу между black и black sapphire, но имейте в виду, что black sapphire практически невозможно сфотографировать точно, потому что он сильно зависит от освещения. В любом случае, black sapphire — это смесь черного и темно-синего с каким-то дополнительным оттенком, который я не могу определить. Его нужно обязательно увидеть вживую при разном освещении, включая прямой солнечный свет. И последний момент — я заказал обе куртки в размере S. Однако одна оказалась на 10 г легче другой и на 1.5 см уже. Этой разницы хватило, чтобы одна сидела слишком тесно, а другая — идеально. Так что тут явно есть проблемы с контролем качества (QC), потому что я не ожидал такой разницы в рамках одного размера.

I bought one of these in black and beige, they are the perfect spring/fall jacket for temperatures below 20degrees celsius I wear them everyday aorund town, at home, and in the office. Haven't managed to test it for sports since I think it's already too warm where I live but I can imagine it is a very nice layer to have in the winter. I usually love wearing turtlenecks and this jacket feels just like one with the high collar, with the added benefit that it can be unzipped.

In preparation for next winter, I got the Kyanite LW Jacket, which does not have a hoodie. I prefer ski clothing without hoodies, as these are non functional when consistently wearing a helmet. I shall it use as my mid-layer under my hard shell Arcteryx jacket and over an Oslo first layer. In general the cold does not truly affect me, whereas I ski at least 80 days per season. I most certainly love the return to the past grey blueish coloring as the understatement is much more of interest than dysfunctional fashionable colors.

Close to perfection. Lacks inner pockets. The jacket is extremely comfortable and very lightweight. Size S weighs 273g, size M weighs 283g. The zippers are extremely smooth and made by YKK. Despite the fabric being elastic, there are no wavy zippers (wavy zippers can appear on some full-zip hoodies when the zipper is too long, or when the fabric shrinks). The outer surface is smooth and does not collect lint and does not appear to pill. The two outside pockets have zippers. The jacket is extremely stylish and just looks really great. The only disappointment I had was that there are no pockets on the inside. On most jackets / hoodies there are inner non-zipper pockets on the inside - these are very easy to add because there is already extra fabric used to make the outer pockets. But not on Kyanite, and I think this is a missed opportunity. If it had the inner pockets, I would literally be completely out of ideas on how to make this product any better. It is that close to perfection. I did test two colors - "black" and "black sapphire". The black is definitely more versatile and it just works with anything. The black Kyanite is the ultimate universal jacket that you can wear at pretty much any occasion with any wardrobe and it will always look great. The black sapphire is also a wonderful color and when you match it with some white-ish or milk colors, it is incredibly beautiful and looks even better than pure black. But it is not as versatile and doesn't look so great with jeans for example. So, black sapphire looks better (and definitely more stylish) than black when you find a good color match, but there are fewer good color matches. I would have loved to own both but if I can choose only one, it would be the black one. I attached some photos showing black vs black sapphire, but do note the black sapphire is pretty much impossible to photograph accurately, because it depends on the ambient lighting so much. Regardless, black sapphire is a mixture of black and navy blue and with some additional factor that I cannot identify. You really need to see it in real life and in various lighting conditions including direct sunlight. One last point I wanted to make - I ordered both jackets in size S. However, one was 10g lighter than the other, and 1.5cm tighter. It was enough of a difference to make one feel too tight while the other one felt perfect. So there are definitely some QC issues because I would not have expected so much variability within a single size class.

Kyanite LT - Size / cut / issue... Same jacket, same label size, very different cut..... especially on the arms... I have this in 2 others colours also. All the same label size. But all a different fit. This most recent colour purchase has very long sleeves and they are very loose fitting around the arm and wrist. I like them tighter. So ill have to ha e them tailored to suit.

Great Product but New Fit: I'm a huge fan of the Kyanite Lightweight Jacket and Hoody, so much so that I have 5 of them. Unfortunately (for me, anyway), Arc'Teryx changed the fit of this product by slimming it down in the torso by about 2". What used to fit me perfectly is now snug. My older Kyanite Lightweights are a few years old so I'm not sure when they changed the dimensions. If you're like me and have older versions, just be sure to try the new one on before you pull the tags off and wash it like I did. (I'd return it but I guess I'm stuck.)
