Keeps me warm during long belays
By SRG
Ranked #2219 - Women's Jackets
May 27, 2009
I got this jacket for ice climbing in New England. Very few companies are making long, insulated jackets that are also TECHNICAL. This one does it and does it well. Finally, my butt stays warm! I got a small, which fits well for hanging out in town, but is too small for all my layers when I'm out climbing. So size up if you want it to function as a good belay coat!
