Anyone have an Arktis Stowaway Shirt?

[Prophecy]

I want to know what size to get.

I'm a 38-40 chest, so the sizing guide I have seen would suggest a Medium.

However, I was going to get a Medium Antarctica jacket and I heard here that sizing was very generous, so I went with a small. (It hasn't arrived yet...)

Any ideas?

I would agree with your sizing guess for medium. I'm a 40-42" chest and I have a Large - it's fine over a medium-weight fleece.

 

[fast but dim]

just got one today (ebay) very thin, almost transparent!, shapeless cut ( will add drawstrings)

first impressions:i'm glad i didn't pay £20 for it, good as an emergency extra layer, there are better windproofs out there.

Sizing is a bit tricky as it's a down to shape as well as size!
All my jackets/shirts/tops are XL and my Arktis Stowaway is also XL and fits fine.
However, I kind of wish I'd paid the extra and gone for the Montane Featherlite as by the looks of this video it packs smaller and more easily:

How long did he practice to do it so neatly?

It looks a great bit of kit...for an ultralighter...(or someone `not` expecting rain.)

But I found this at the car boot

That dinky bag is about nine inches long and three wide

Inside is this nifty light jacket, made by Cutter and Buck. its of polyester, and is a close light fabric with a nap like a peach (seems to resemble pertex)

alas there is no hood.

I have no idea what its meant to withstand but I bet it keeps the wind off and is no doubt hand in the wet.

I also have a similarly packed pair of trews to go with it. not bad for £2 for both.
