| I've got a 400BZ on order, but one thing was concerning me and an email to Marcin has so far gone unanswered.
It was concerning the ribbing at waist and armpits, now at least from the OP very informative post I know that it's Thinsulate 150, and not just simple elastic material. However, the armpits and waist are one of the major areas of heat loss after the head, so is the heat retention capabilities of this undergarment being severely compromised by the need for flexibility. Also, the backs of the knees are again another area of high heat loss and losing insulation here as in the OP post can't be good?
I realise there is a compromise to be made, but has this rather important part (in my mind) been overlooked? All the primary areas where major blood vessels are close to the surface seem to have little insulation?
Not relevant in the grand scheme of things? Someone put my mind at rest before I hand over my hard-earned! I don't have access to a DUI400g what is DUI's solution for this problem? No insulation or excess material? With the sudden large increase of price of the Santi it's not that far off a stock DUI which seems to be about my size. |
