Winter Running Sewing and New Greenstyle Vapor Jacket and Vest

 

Yay, Greenstyle FINALLY has a running windbreaker that can be made with non-stretch woven (0-30% stretch). This is the new Vapor which I pre-tested for them. Fits chest 30-61" and hip 32-62". 

So many options:

• Sleeves, vest
• Collar, hood
• Vented back, colorblocked back, solid back
• Elastic channel back
• Hip length or low hip length
• No pockets, 3 pockets which can be double, single welt with or without zipper
• Sleeves can have elastic at the cuff or not and elastic in the hood or not
• FBA front with darts or not

This is made from 1.6oz HyperD in Moroccan Blue from RipstopByTheRoll.com . The vent is some lightweight mesh from stash. 

I used the colorblocked version FBA, vented back, elastic, longer length. I used a reflective piping in as many of the seams as made sense. I sized down for this which they recommend for thin fabrics. I think I would prefer if I had made the size I measured. The only thing that is not per pattern is the hanging loop. It is just a piece of the main fabric with a piece of muslin in it.

Now that I've made the UL windshell and this, I definitely prefer this but it's mostly because it's really made for my shape and fits better. The UL windshell is a fantastic pattern, but not best for my shape.
