Very Warm for Its Weight

Ranked #2572 - Men's Down Jackets

This is the jacket I choose most often during our Montana winters. I use it by itself for around town or worn under a breathable shell for low intensity activity on bitter days it's just fine. It's too warm under a shell for higher intensity exercise. I take it on all my backcountry skiing day trips to wear during lunch stops or while "cooling down" after a long climb to a ridge. The reviewer who claimed this isn't any warmer than a layer of heavyweight capilene must have been wearing it while it was soaking wet.
