Street? Yup. But I think Tech, too.

I know that the Siphon is made for looks, but I tried it out as part of my layering system on a recent Himalayan trip. At first I wore it just around base camp, but then I ended up wearing it for a quick acclimatizing jaunt up the mountain- and was completely sold. I found the wool-poly combo worked excellently as my outer layer during moderately cold temps (around 10F, no precip)- as long as I kept moving. When it got colder or I when moving slower up high, I layered it under my down parka or shell jacket. More and more these days I try to incorporate wool into my layers for its insulation and moisture management benefits. Conclusion: Lightweight, strong tech performance, street looks = friggin' nice.
