Pretty Revolutionary...yet simple!!!

I've pretty much lived in this layer for the last year. I think it's perfect for cold weather climbing....on those days when you can see your breath and you strip out of your down jacket and jump on the rock as quickly as possible this is my climbing layer. If it's the kind of day when you are putting hand warmers in your chalk bag to keep your finger from numbing out this might be for you. I also run in this jacket and find it's the right weight for cold weather running, but doesn't create too much bulk around the arms as to restrict, and I mountain bike in this jacket for similar reasons. I love thumb loops and this baby has them. It's kind of like a vest, it's kind of like a long sleeve synthetic...but it is it's own unique thing. The eco friendly insulation is surprisingly warm around the core yet you can get your heart rate up and the sweat seems to breathe away... I believe TNF actually won some awards for this piece due to it's rather innovative DNA.
