things I like about this jacket that are not in the desciption above:
1. The nylon lining on the inside of the jacket has a silky feel to it...makes the jacket feel warm, light and help freedom of movement
2. The high collar is lined with super soft micro fleece and is high enough to tuck under to avoid a burly gust of wind or pounding ice and snow.
3. The elastic cuffs are a thin stretchy neoprene like gasket that hold heat in without restricting blood flow
4. Two way zipper is great for hanging belays where your harness rides up into the jacket.
This is one most useful, comfortable, durable jackets TNF makes! I use a XL as a big belay over jacket to put on over my other down for the coldest adventures and have a size M for town and at the crag.
