Didn't think I'd ever wear anything other than my R1, but I've been finding myself grabbing this more and more. It's a bit thinner, but fuzzier, waffle grid fleece than an R1 (grid is smaller/tigher as well). The hood is lined, which I find a bit bulky, but if you're a hood person you might like the additional warmth. I wish it was a little snugger until the helmet.

The heel flaps have a tendency to come loose, flop, then break when you step on them. But again, easy enough to manage if you keep them reasonably tight. If you do break them, it's a quick swap out and the flaps are repla...

Looks like the mammut is easy to fill at scuba/paintball shops, or with a hand pump. Any word on the feasibility of those options with the Arva? I can't find much via google, and the Arva site says authorized dealers only (of which there aren't many).
