Super light and incredibly functional

By GearSloot.com Ranked #1444 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets December 19, 2009

I've got 6 or 7 performance jackets in the closet, and when the arctic chill rolls into New England the Redpoint is the first one I grab every time. Its incredibly warm, but a featherweight. I love this jacket to throw on when approaching windy summits or extended breaks on the skin track. I'll even wear it alone when resort skiing on cold days. A midweight base layer alone for <15F and all add a midlayer beneath it for temps <5F down to wind chills in the -20's. Its got an understated style that looks great around town as well.

My Redpoint is decorated with plenty of taffeta tape these days as glade skiing and campfire embers have taken their toll. Good owners would layer a hardshell over it in these conditions to product its thinner nylon shell. I like mine so much Im thinking of picking up a Plasma Thermal for hard use and using my Redpoint purely as a packable thermal layer on the trail.
