GREAT for ULTRA-LIGHTERS!
By Lauren Smalley
Ranked #1047 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
February 22, 2010
I am a 2009 A.T. Thru-hiker and I was not really an ultra-lighter when I started my trip. I came to realize just how much clothing weighs sometime around mid-Virginia when I was still carrying all my winter clothes... This jacket solves the weight issue while still providing exceptional warmth. It is especially handy if traveling in an area that receives heavy rainfall because it will keep you warm even if it is wet, which a down jacket will not do. And at 8.8 ounces, it really can't be beat! There are no extra frills with this jacket, which is why it is so light and yet still so warm.
