TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Size question re MacPac Traverse Event Jacket

Just wondering how you found the sizing of the MacPac Traverse Event Jacket. I can't get to a store, but can get a good deal online but need to act quick to secure the price.

I am usually a size medium in t shirts and a size 82 in pants. I fit all the measurements for a medium but my waist measurement slots into the size XL!!! My stomach isn't that big... lol

What size do you have and roughly what size clothing do you wear?

Thanks

I wear medium or large shirts depending on the cut. 34 pants (that sit on the hips). Fairly broad chest. I went for a large. The medium fit well and I would probably have gotten it if it was a going out sort of jacket. But I wanted a bit more space around the shoulders and for layering underneath so got the large.

I am often a small on tshirts etc. And bought a medium, the small fits over a tshirt but bought a medium for space over layers.

They are fairly athletic cut, but think you'll need ranga arms unfortunately. Would you like some measurements from the XL....?
