I waited for this, now Im disappointed

By Not_a_name Ranked #80 - Women's Synthetic Insulation Jackets December 18, 2011

I started with the Atom LT hoody--and I like it a lot--except for the overly large fleece inserts which are too drafty for me, especially around the upper arms. The new Atom SV seems like it would be perfect. It has great features. But get this... I SWEAR that the SV is actually LESS wind resistent than the LT. it makes no sense. Everything about the SV seems like it should be warmer overall. But it isnt. The SV has more insulation and much smaller inserts, but its all wasted because the outer fabric lets so much more wind in and so much more heat out. I just dont understand. Theres nothing horrible about this jacket. I expected it would be just like the Atom LT, but a little warmer and a little less drafty. I was very very wrong about that.
