Great Layer

This will be the warmest lightest layer in your arsenal. Under a hardshell and over a base layer I have been comfertable down to 15, and with a few more layers I would take it down much colder. It has saved me from hypothermia several times in the mountains. Definitely get the hooded jacket... it is much warmer! They fit tight to make them more thermally efficient, but it is not uncomfertable. If you like a larger fit then get a size larger than you normally wear.

Really amazing.It fits perfectly and is warm. And its really lightweight. So much that it seems a fake. The only thing to improve, some zips under the armpits to balance the transpiration, but these will add weight and probably reduce comfort.
