Everything I hoped it would be

By White Lightning Ranked #3663 - Men's Down Jackets November 14, 2006

The flash is everything I hoped it would be: warm enough indoors to leave the thermostat low, and also warm enough for outdoor aerobic exercise in frost and wind.
The Flash is noticeably warmer than a fleece or sweater, yet lighter than either. It was also windproof in its first outdoor test today.
Being able to store it in its own pocket is great, as is its feel on my neck. The blue color and shape are also fine, as are the other pockets and the zippers.
I've lost one large and one small feather thus far, but that's typical of down garmets.
If you plan to get it wet, down may not be the best choice, but otherwise, this is an ideal next step beyond a fleece.
