Whenever touring with my wife, priority is to keep her warm, this jacket does that. It feels like a down coat yet is highly breathable and comfortable in the alpine environment. The red is also very bright making her easy to see on our backcountry descents.

I love this jacket! I just received it and am stoked to try it out this winter. It is super light, well constructed, and the fit is awesome. Thanks again!

I got this jacket just in time for a freak arctic blast of air into Seattle. It's been down in the 20s. And I get to walk around all warm and toasty in my new jacket. The hood is great--it's insulated too so it really keeps your bean warm. The jacket isn't very long, similar to my Arcteryx rain coat. Has nice big pockets inside and out.

I picked this up for my girlfriend as an xmas gift for her. We put it to the test night skiing in single digit temps. At first we weren't sure how much base layering she'd need so we start with a smart wool ls tee and a light weight fleece over top. After a run or two she was too warm with the fleece and opted to go only with the smart wool tee, which then worked perfectly.

I opted for this coat over a shell because I wanted to simplify the base layering she'd need to do with the other option and thought that an insulated coat would get more day to day wear.

As our test proved, you don't need to pile on the layers if you have this coat. Unlike a lot of other jackets, there's no need to start shedding the layers once you take the coat off and head inside.

Highly recommend!
