Ranked #793 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
August 29, 2009
Super warm, light & packable. It's not nearly as puffy as a lot of down jackets, but probably performs just as well. It's best if worn under a shell, as the material seems really delicate and is definitely not waterproof. I wouldn't want this to get snagged on a branch or caught in the rain. Also, it's kind of shiny, which may be off-putting to some, but I really don't care. And finally, it's sizing is a bit awkward. I normally wear small, but was only able to try on a medium. It fit great through the arms and the length was perfect but it was a tad big in the torso. However, after using the waist drawstring, it felt just fine. Overall this is one of my favorite jackets and I wear it whenever I stop moving outdoors.
