Ranked #1542 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
April 14, 2009
After a complete New England winter of use this jacket is still my favorite go-to jacket for just about everything except heavy rain. It held up well over a ski season as a mid layer and without a shell and I have yet to wash it because of either grime or stink. The jacket feels like it has a lost a little bit of its bulk but it is still as warm as the day I bought it. Yesterday I 'discovered' the stow pocket for the first time and it packs up to the size of a softball: awesome.
