Good, not Great

first, love the jacket. I gave it 4 stars because there are a few weak spots. The hood is worthless. probably better to just get rid of it or add a better one that is removable. I know it is not meant to be a parka but it is warm enough that I would never own a parka and this even with my gear addiction. There are more cold spots in this jacket than with the others I have used like montbell. I think it is the baffles or how the seams are sewn through. Overall though for a very warm jacket that looks good, fits good and compresses very nice this is tough to beat for the price.
