Mountain Hardwear Vinson Jacket - Men's
January 28, 2009
What is the weight of the Primaloft insulation in this jacket? (In oz. sq/yd or grams)Actual sleeve length size large, XL?Room for layering in the sleeves?.... they look narrow.I tried calling and emailing MH about this, but I get either voice mail(no call backs), or email(they don't reply to emails). Hmmm, why bother having "customer service" then? LOL! They are not so customer friendly as say Marmot, who is very easy to get a hold of. In this case, a potential sale lost.

Marmot Ellsworth Insulated Jacket - Men's
January 26, 2009
I'll answer my own question! I called Marmot Warranty/repair dept., not their customer service reps... as they don't have this info. These are actual garment measurements..... Large followed by XL.Chest 51"/54". Sleeves ....37.5/38.5 Neck 23.5/24.5 Center-back length 29"/30"The jacket has 4 oz sq/yd Primaloft in the body, 3 oz sq/yd in the sleeves and 1.8oz sq/yd in the hood.I would call this the "Medium" warmth category for winter jackets. Having a multitude of Primaloft Jackets....Marmot and EMS.... the 4 oz weight PL in the body gives it noticeably more warmth than 3 oz alone. Having a bunch of Primaloft jackets..... this is not for severe cold... like -10 or anything....... but depending on the users activity level, metabolism and all.... should be OK for anywhere from above zero to 40 plus degrees. I find Primaloft jackets to have a wider temp range than down..... making good for 3 seasons here in the Midwest. For severe cold I layer different Primaloft jackets ..... warmer than any down parka! I've got a Marmot Belay Parka that has 7 oz PL in the body... and combined with a lighter PL layer.... it's a furnace. Wearing a PL vest over/under the Ellsworth will make for a very warm jacket.

Outdoor Research Gripper Glove - Men's
January 10, 2009
Has the grip material improved over older versions? I have a pair from 2000 or so when they still used their thicker pile instead of their now fleece. The grip has never been even "good". I thought by now they would have used some leather for the grip.I like OR gloves, and all of multiple pairs of them. They all have leather or synthetic leather and grip well, except the ironically named "Gripper Glove".
