Stoic Luft Down Sweater - Men's
Epic Donkey Jacket

December 5, 2010
So I got this last week (for half off) and was looking to use it for the super cold winter we are really in for here in the NW. I am 6ft and 185lbs and the Large is perfect for me.
This morning I had to stand outside in 20degree weather for an hour with a pretty nasty wind and this kept me crazy warm for the little movement I was doing.
After that I used it as a Midlayer skiing because the wind chill was so gnarly. Bad Idea. It made me sweat so bad I had to take it off after the first run. It fits perfect underneath my L Helly Hansen Technical Shell.
Bottom Line: When its cold and you are not doing anything active, this thing keeps you warm. I would not use it for a Mid-Layer again unless I manage to ski in sub zero temps. Fleece inside pockets are nice too, Extremely lightweight, I'm pretty sure I could pack this into a zip-lock sandwich bag.
