Sizing Information
Vanson jackets are sized generously through the torso and will accommodate a chest consistent with the stated chest size of the jacket (measure your chest with a tape to get an accurate indication). Vanson’s fit the average height person best, and the overall cut will accommodate a sturdy or muscular build well (not so well for the tall and thin types though). The adjustable waist feature will accommodate a wide variety of waist/belly sizes for a given chest size which makes a good fit pretty easy. If you have a bit of a belly, you’ll want to check your belly with the tape too. Make sure the belly is no bigger than 4” less than the jacket size you’ve selected. For example, a size 48 jacket would handle a max. belly size of about 44. The adjustable waist will snug down to about 10 to 12 inches (for the more trim people out there). Try Vanson’s Sizing Chart for a second opinion on fit. Vanson’s chart is developed for a snug fit, which they recommend.
Our Two Cents
The Mark 2 CSRV is the best protection available in a jacket that is made for comfort in very hot weather. The jacket is fully perforated all over to allow maximum air flow through the jacket. Vanson uses the best perforated leather available anywhere. It’s the same thickness and quality of their standard garment leather, the holes are very plentiful (many per square inch) and the holes are very cleanly cut. The wind literally blows right through this jacket. Like the other Mark 2 styles, this jacket features a three point zipper connection to Vanson pants and has a great adjustable waist feature (as I mention above) to help you get a comfortable secure fit.
Options: This Vanson jacket is “armor ready” which means it has an access zipper to install Vanson armor in the shoulders, elbows and back. This jacket will also accept Vanson’s Streamliner Vest which can be used to extend the jacket’s comfortable temperature range. The vest acts as a wind barrier and provides insulation for colder weather.
