Gear Review
Great Versatility
By Walt Walter
April 13, 2006
Climbed Rainier a couple of years ago and one of the guides had this jacket. I was impressed with the compressibility and weight verses the insulating ability of the jacket. So I decided to buy one and wore it almost every day this past winter. I used for snowboarding, ice climbing, and just strolling around town. First impression was that it wouldn't keep me warm. I was pleasantly surprised to find it almost too warm.
