Gear Review
so light, so warm

This is probably the piece of gear that makes me the happiest to use. So
light, so warm, so versatile. Keep it in a pocket and throw it on over a
shell when you stop moving, or wear it under a wind layer to really keep
the heat in. Roll it into a ball and use as a pillow (wrap it in some
other fabric first, though). And it's synthetic, so you don't have to
worry too much about getting it wet. Go up a size so it's easy to fit
over a few other layers.
My only complaint is that the built-in stuff sack is too hard to stuff
it in, and doesn't make a useful pocket when it's unstuffed (stuff falls
out). Also, a zipper might be easier to adjust than the snaps.
Note: this review is for the pullover vest, which weighs 6 oz.
