Great Jacket
By Jim Dobbins
Ranked #1449 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
February 4, 2009
Comfortable and warm. Recently went skiing on a cold day at Whiteface Mt. Temps were less than 10 degrees at the base and much colder at the top of the mountain. I had on a thin base layer, a fleece, and the Plasma jacket. I was never cold (besides my hands but I can't blame the jacket for that) and was actually borderline to warm when I was skiing the glades. I also wear the jacket walking my dog and wear only a t-shirt under it down to 20 degrees with no problems. Does a great job stopping the wind. I would buy the jacket again in a second.
