Another Winner from BC

By Ranked #1666 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets May 19, 2009

I got this just last week and I have to say, another great piece of gear from BC. The wool blend did great in the light rain and I'm plenty warm up in the mountains. I love my Shift (last years model) but to be honest, it gets too warm sometimes, especially when the sun hits it. The Siphon is the perfect light jacket. The pocket lining keeps the hands nice and warm, too. The chest pocket will hold maybe and ID or and Ipod.
BC stuff is very stylish - I got comments about ten mins after I left the building wearing the Siphon. I am 5 9 , 165 with a 42R chest - literally the average American males' size- and the large fits me like it has been tailored. BC stuff is snug, and the arms tend to be on the long side. I'm not trying to sound concending when I say that if you are rocking a beer belly, I can't imagine this jacket would look good on you. It is now my go to jacket, and I think I'm going to buy one for a friend.
