This Jacket Rules

By Tommy Chandler September 6, 2007

I'm not really a gear geek, but sometimes I find something that just makes life in the hills a little bit better. I already owned a Transition Zip-T, which I love for cool, or windy conditions when climbing, backcountry skiing, running, or biking. This jacket takes it to a whole new level. The hood is form fitting, blocking the wind, and the thumb loops are great for keeping your hands warm by keeping the blood flow in the wrist warm. At least thats what I heard about how it works. And it does. The cool thing about this piece is that it'll keep you warm when it's cold and windy out, and when it warms up it seems to regulate the heat well. You can just keep on going and not worry about stopping to shed layers. This thing is the perfect piece of clothing for Alpine Rock Climbing and Backcountry Skiing. And other things.
