WARM.

By Bushwack Brother Ranked #106 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets November 18, 2008

This jacket would be extremely warm for its weight if it were down. But as a synthetic? It's supernatural. I just spent a night @ 10,500 ft. in the Wasatch, with howling winds and a low in the teens; and this jacket kept me super-toasty outside the bivy.

It stuffs into about a 10"(tall)x5"(diameter), which means it's made it into my bc ski pack as a safety essential.

The fit is a bit on the large side - I'm 6'/160 lbs and the medium leaves me more than enough room for layers underneath.

I was going to knock it down to 4 stars because the hood seems to get in the way of my hearing when I get active - it rustles pretty loudly. But honestly, the hood is designed for optimal warmth, which is why I bought it in the first place, so how can I penalize?
