Mountain Hardwear Hooded Compressor Insulated Jacket - Men's
So far, so good...

Just got this and so far I'm pleased. It's early autumn in DC so not really cold enough to need this jacket yet.
As for fit: I'm 5'10" 220# and take a 46S jacket and the XL fits me very nicely. Not too baggy or too tight. It's definitely thinner than other insulating layers I have, but felt pretty good under the MH Exposure II parka. I wouldn't dare wear this jacket by itself though: the 15D looks like it wouldn't take much to tear it, ripstop or not.
The real test will be when I take this up Kilimanjaro next year.
