Great piece of gear

Ranked #2058 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
September 20, 2007
I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in '06 with this jacket to replace the mid-weight fleece I used to hike with. Overall, it was great, but by the end of the hike after so many months of compressing it, the insulation had lost most of its loft. Such is the nature of synthetic insulation, though, and I'm sure any of the competitors jackets would have done the same. Bottom line: great jacket, and I'd buy another one at the drop of a hat.
