Wonderful Product

Ranked #2149 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
January 19, 2006
I bought this jacket for inbounds use in Utah (Alta, Snowbird, Park City, etc) so I was looking for something semi-warm that would hold up in a snowstorm. This jacket is perfect for the application I had in mind - I throw on a wind stopper shirt underneath for big storms, and just a long-sleeve t-shirt for sunny days. My only gripes are that the collar pulls up against my neck and face due to the design of the hood, and that the hood has an elasticized opening instead of a drawstring. Even with those two inconveniences, this is a great jacket - just the right amount of weatherproof-ness and warmth.
