Instead on being sewn to fabric strips and then sewn to the jacket. The thing didn't stay down when reaching up and there was something about the hood I didn't like , but I can't remember exactly what. Some sort of adjustment cord was not present I think. Pretty pricey jacket.
yeah you mean to say the jacket wasn't articulated so you pretty much are not going to be doing any climbing related sports.
I'm not sure if Mammut no longer does sleeve articulation because I just bought a $250 Advanced Jacket and was very disappointed that the entire jacket rode up when I lifted my arms in the air. Even my $80 1998 Patagonia fleece has articulated sleeves.
If a jacket rides up like this you literally can't do any climbing, paddling or alpine ascent related sports. Most you can do is hike, run and ski in it.
Shame if the Felstrum is not articulated. It would be the most useless but most fancy $370 poncho money can buy!
on the left I'm wearing my $250 Mammut Advanced Softshell and on the right my $200 Patagonia High Loft Down. The Advance rides up and bunches up in the torso so I can't do anything like climbing or paddling whiles wearing it. Which is why I bought it in the first place so I returned it.
