Ranked #32 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
October 17, 2008
This is an outstanding jacket. I was looking for a very compressible, lightweight jacket that I could stuff in my pack, take up little room and be available for me to pull out if the weather went bad, and this jacket is it. The synthetic insulation was key since I use it mainly for fall and spring camping when the chances of it becoming wet are increased. My only negative opinion is I wish it had its own stuff built into a pocket or something. I ended up stuffing it into my stuff sack with my other layers when I would have preferred to keep it separate.
