Ranked #1266 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
February 28, 2010
I hate to give this jacket a mediocre review because I have the older one and I love it, but.... this one didn't really impress me. I liked the color, I got the green one. I liked the weight and sizing for the most part, but it is more restrictive that previous models. I liked the cuffs, but they did let in the wind a bit. My main problem was that the pockets aren't fleece lined and there is no barrier to the cold like my old one. I seem to be finding small things to complain about, but the devil is in the details and having an older model to compare it to, the new one doesn't stand up.
