Ranked #1390 - Men's Down Jackets
December 31, 2010
Pros
- Very warm
- Lightweight
- Wind and water resistant
- Packs down very small in it's stuff sac
- Better price than similarly preforming down jackets
Cons
- Too short for some uses (perfect for climbing and most outdoor use)
- Zipper hard to start if the lower drawstrings are pulled at all
I've had this Jacket for a few years and it's a must have for core gear. It's held up well and keeps you toasty when you need it to. Using it to climb Rainier or just watching a meteor shower on a cold night this will make the cold feel comfy!
It's warmer than some may realize. I think people make the mistaking of layering up too much to combat the cold. With the use of this jacket you can have a thin base layer for normal outdoor exertion and then put on the Sub Zero when you rest, snack or stop to camp. Out of all of my outdoor gear this jacket is in my top 3 items for the cold days outdoors.
