Great jacket. Warm. Well Designed

This is a great warm, I gotta have heat cause it is freezin outside jacket.

I like the fit. It is cut short to wear with a harness. I like that. Non-climbers might not. If you have a tall torso it might be too short. If thats the case look at the Subzero Hooded Parka. For me with a 19" torso, its perfect.

Good warm hood. Nice soft fleece in hand pockets. High cut on pockets. The Conduit shell makes it possible to use it in a wet snow you might wet out other down.

Too warm to hike in. This is a keep wam when I aint moving coat. As a photographer that is really where it shines. When I hike into a location in predawn light I do not wear this. Its when I get to location and will be standing for 2-3 hours waiting for light that this makes the difference.

I also own the TNF Hooded Redpoint Optimist jacket. That is much lighter than this, they compliment each other well in my kit.

Warm. toasty. Priced right too.
