Fantastic Down Jacket

By Anonymous Ranked #30 - Men's Down Jackets December 21, 2007

Let me start off by saying this jacket is excellent. Most importantly, it is very warm. It comes down right below the belt line and the thing is absolutely jam packed with down. Incredibly, it is 100% windproof and repels water effortlessly! It has kept me warm on several winter excursions in the Eagle Caps. The design and quality is very good. It is very light and packs into a stuffing sack about the size of a football. The hood is very warm and large enough for a helmet. If there was one thing I could change it would be the outer shell. The pertex is everything it advertises (windproof/super-water-resistant), but it is pretty thin. While snowshoeing, I slipped and caught a thorn or sharp branch on the way down. It tore right through the pertex shell leaving a hole in the right sleeve. Thank goodness for the unlimited lifetime warranty! To sum up, this thing can easily handle any subzero outdoor activity, but be mindful of the thin outer shell (which really isn't all that different from outer shells on other jackets designed for similar purposes).
