Great Heat Regulator

By Lewis Kuppler Ranked #513 - Men's Vests September 24, 2009

I took it and climbed Mt. Adam's in Washington to help me regulate my heat output while summiting. It worked great and kept that vicious wind at that altitude off my core. I also glissaded with it as my shell, granted it was mostly ice and no snow, wouldn't be ideal if there was a good powder on the glacier. I really don't have a single complaint, it has performed great since then to. I even took a good spill down a rock quarry out in eastern Oregon and it didn't tear or scuff even though the fall scuffed my by body up real nicely where the apex vest wasn't covering me up... ha-ha. Great product, definitely going to put this as a regular in my quiver of gear to pull from!!!
