Not too Short! Built for the Mountains!

By r.griswold Ranked #1832 - Women's Down Jackets September 10, 2009

I've read too many reviews of this jacket claiming it's too short in the torso.
My wife has this jacket and I have the mens equivalent. If you bought this jacket to walk the dogs on cold nights or wear around town to look sporty in the ski towns and villages... it's too short in the torso. It wasn't made with those activities in mind.
If you bought this jacket to pull out of your pack as you turn the lead over to your partner and put it on to stay warm and still be able to see and use your harness as you belay your partner, it is perfect! That is what it was made for.
one other review claimed "buy The North Face Nuptse, it fits better" yup, it was made just for looking sporty in the village and has no place at the belay station : )
