It's nice

By James Jenden Ranked #10 - Men's Down Jackets January 24, 2011

This is a fusion of two great jackets: an excellently made down sweater and a lightweight, eVENT hardshell. It's not as durable as some hardshells, but it's more than suitable for most jobs you can throw at it. The price tag is a little steep, but considering just the sweater is $215, it's not a bad deal overall. One correction for Backcountry though; on their website, Rab says this jacket has 850 fill down by US standards, apparently it's 750 fill by EU standards. No idea how that works. This jacket has around 5 oz. of 850 down in it, so while it's fairly thin, it's also surprisingly warm. I wish BC would stock just the sweater, I had to buy mine somewhere else, which was dissapointing.
