Ranked #703 - Men's Jackets
April 8, 2009
This suit is as close to excellent as one can get. The only snag is that the "trouserpart" feels a little too tight compared to the "jacketpart", but maybe it;s my lower measurements that;s a bit out of the ordinary. It;s very ease to get on and off and the suspenders are just right if you want to get the upper part off to let some fresh air in. And it;s definitely warm, no use for extra thick layers underneath. Although it seems rather puffy, it does;nt feel that in any sense. It;s very light in weight. I haven;t tried it on in freezing cold but the temperatures were well below 0 degrees centigrades and it was snowing rather heavy. The collar is just high enough to hide nearly all your face behind it and the hood also fits nicely when tighly strapped. All in all a gear that suits me admirably. I just hope it is;nt as easy to get a tear in the fabric as is the case with a Patagonia Down Jacket I just bought. Time will show. "Shop til you drop". Trygve.
