Good loft. Layerable. Great Price. (Thanks SAC!)

Ranked #2416 - Men's Down Jackets
December 11, 2009
Size:
I'm 5'10", 150 lbs and the small fits perfect. If you have wide hips for whatever reason, this might not be your jacket. It is very snug down there, the girlfriend tried to steal it and couldn't get it to zip (she's the same volume/height as me, just to different proportions...thank god.)
Layering:
In terms of layers, you can layer a thinner fleece beneath, eg. the Prime Agnello (discontinued). It's got about an inch of loft, but the Rime Pullover Jacket has just enough room to fit this guy underneath. You can tell they weren't designed for each other though, the Luft is about an inch longer than the Rime up front (pretty similar cut otherwise), but really not a big quibble. Between the three, I imagine I can handle any Colorado weather quite toastily.
Color:
Yes, you can see some feathers underneath the highlighter lime color. Yes, it's a borderline hideous color. It's a down jacket. You're wearing it to stay warm. Put a shell layer over it if you're tired of people commenting about how they have to wear shades to stand near you. At least you'll be easier to find when you get lost in the wilderness in subzero temperatures.
