Light, Warm, and Windproof?!?!

Great jacket! It is the lightest 800 fill down jacket I've found and is the only windproof one I was able to find. Be warned, though. Like the other reviews say, this jacket is HOT and shouldn't even be considered for hiking or anything else that is going to be creating excess heat in.

Down is best for those times when you stop moving (ie belaying) or resting after a climb, or around camp. It can be used aerobically but best only in super cold environments.
