Initially, I first purchased a CPO in Lynx and was highly impressed. I followed up with the ShirtJac....
This is likely the one of the best utilitarian garments manufactured in 2023 period. I can now sell off large amounts of other gear with zero regret.
Lynx looks excellent, the material is sturdy and thick, and the collar... it's perfectly massive and stiff for endless days in the outdoors.
I need my gear to be multi-faceted and extremely deployable in different environments - from coastal Sweden to rural windswept New Mexico.
This piece actually functions rather well in the high-wind conditions of the open mesa where we have temperature differentials of over 30 to 40 degrees F in a day. I find heading out in the morning when its around 25 and windy an easy task with this shirt and then it wears comfortable as the day warms up - only shedding due to not really need a layer and not because I am overheated. I really hate wind and this layer works perfeclty in it.
I am a 40" chest - 6' 3" 180 with a weird lanky body type - this layer fits great in small. Medium would be ideal to layer with but for actually working I can fit a L/S shirt and wool work vest underneath this and I am perfectly layered. I love how long WeatherWool cuts their stuff.
I look forward to taking this piece and all my WeatherWool from the Nordic maritime to the wilderness to city.
