Lightweight and Warm

By Joe Iacono January 25, 2011

I have to admit, I was a little wary of this jacket at first. The omni-heat liner technology (same kind of material that they use in delivery pizza boxes) seemed too gimicky to be functional in a technical outerwear application. After waking up one freezing-cold early AM morning with this Jacket, I was sold. The tech really works. The jacket is now my go-to cold-weather piece. It works both as a nice insulating midlayer and as a classicly styled outer jacket. The great thing is that it actually warms more effectively as you continue to wear it. It heats up. My only qualm is the fit seems a bit too wide. Overall, great lightweight WARM jacket.
