Sierra Designs Solar Fusion Down Jacket - Men's
Not worth it.
By Eddie
Ranked #338 - Men's Down Jackets
December 30, 2011
The jacket only has down fill on the "core" areas, leaving the extremities out to freeze.
Only the chest, back, and half of your arms are covered with down. Leaving your kidneys and bicepts without any insulation.
That's all fine with me, maybe people want things like that, but it should be documented in the manufacturer's description. Furthermore, there are no photos showing this. The only photos make one assume that the jacket is fully-downed.
The loft is there on this jacket, but unfortunatley it comes in a lofty price-tag.
I returned the item, even though it was on a heavily-discounted sale.
