Cadillac Insulation

By DeskDriver October 12, 2009

The Fitz Roy Hooded jacket is a premium item if you are looking for some serious insulation. I have worn this jacket with nothing more than a T shirt underneath, stepped outside in frigid Wasatch Front winter weather (10 fahrenheit and colder), and been perfectly comfortable. Make no mistake this is serious equipment to battle the cold, especially if you live in a mostly dry climate. Although the jacket is water resistant, I would be hesitant to wear it in consistent rainfall. The only other jacket I would consider in similar application is the Himalayan Parka by North Face. I give Fitz Roy the nod here due to packability. Patagonia fits pretty true to size across the board in my opinion, I wear a medium (5'10, 135 lbs). This is a fantastic addition to your closet if you want to give old man winter the middle finger.
