Montane Slipstream wind shirt

[La Gringa]

Andy, the Torres gillet is ONLY good as a windbreak. It doesn't breath as well as other paramo and the insulation is not as efficient as even my PHD minimus gillet. If I had to give away one item of clothing...my torres would be it ! (Tested in UK and Spain) Hope this helps.
P.S. See my post on Velez Light....they come in large sizes and could be the answer to your problem ! At least try one on. Great breathability and although no pit zips, the side venting is almost up to your pits so not necessary. Obviously more bulky than the Montane shirt, but with that comes complete confidence in the rain.
