Very light and warm

By Phil Jones Ranked #1946 - Men's Down Jackets April 5, 2010

I bought this jacket as a light alternative to a heavier down jacket that is pretty old. This one is built to be as light as possible. The pockets are very warm. The fit is snug. When they say 37 inch chest, they mean 37 inches and no more. I found the length of the jacket to be just right. If you are backpacking, it won't get in the way of the hipbelt. The loft was excellent and the down was plentiful. As another user commented, a drawcord at the waist would be nice as well as velcro tabs at the wrist. But, if you want those features, there are other jackets available. This one is much better than the OR Transcendent Jacket, which I returned once I compared it to this one.
