I need to re waterproof my coat, what do you recommended please>
#
M65 Jacket w/ thermal fleece - well rounded for a mix of conditions
Arcteryx - Can't go back.. expensive though.
I usually get by with just the mid or mid + shell .. never needed the base.
For mid i would recommend :

or

For shell :

I also ordered a Fission SV as a single solution might be more practical for me, will send back whichever i prefer least (the atom beta combo or the fission)
nik wax techwash
followed by Nik Wax Waterproofing

how odd, i literally just received an Atom LT and a Beta AR today as my first "proper" coats

That Atom LT looks ideal for dog walking/winter walks etc - How's the sizing @rG-tom
RE for dog walking - I don't feel it will keep you dry in even a light shower tbh, it is very much a dry weather or mid-layer, but maybe I'm being tricked by how light it is and the DWR will be better than i anticipate.
The large is perfect for me - I'm often an XL in other brands with my current covid weight at 6'4 240lbs (for reference I'm on the slightly more athletic side of that weight despite the current beer belly, so broad shoulders and chest is where I normally have fitting issues).

PS the colour Timelapse is absolutely awesome in this Atom. I've ordered the fission in black but if i like the coat overall i think I'm going to send it back and re-order in timelapse.
Thanks - to be fair - if it raining, I just don't go out! haha - I'm right between medium and large which is the only issue for me.....I'll keep looking for now

my guess is if you're between sizes you'll want the smaller one. but your mileage may vary.
