Gear Review
Awesome jacket, but some down points
By Eric Tee
Ranked #1565 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
October 23, 2008
Good: Light, soft, versatile, STOW technology (folds into a small pillow), very nice water repellant coat. Can be used as a outer layer or insulated baselayer.
Bad: Hood is HUGE, it can fit a helmet in it. Armpits will stink because of tight insulation and if you sweat a lot.
Overall: Very satisfied with this jacket :]
