redpoit optimus

Ranked #4614 - Men's Down Jackets
April 11, 2003
These are really nice jackets. They have the drawstrings inside the pockets so they arent hanging off the side of the jacket. They also have a really nice big pocket across the back where you could store a bunch of stuff without it limiting your movement. The thing about the optimus that I don't like is that it's cut kind of short in the front. This is so it doesnt get in the way of a climbing harness for ice climbers. It just looks a little strange. But it's a killer jacket. It's super super warm and comfortable without being too bulky.
