Westcomb iRebel IPOD Compatible Hoody Fleece Jacket - Men's - 2006 BCS

wind pro is an awesome fabric, cut just right - good arm length for those with a high ape factor, relaxed but not loose, and a bit longer than say the equivalent (in terms of fabric) arc'teryx hoody. works well on its own but layers easily. ipod thing works but i have no real use for it.

This is one of the best layering pieces I've ever owned! It has a great fit, the thumb loops in the sleeves makes it super easy to put on outer hard or soft shells, and the iPod controller is awesome! For the first reviewer, you need to hold down the 'fast-forward button' for 3 seconds in order for it to work (automatically locks out so you don't accidently push the buttons). The Wind Pro fleece lets in just amount of wind to cool me down and the Hard Face outer surfacing helps to bead up the water. I can also wash it without worrying about wires. Great design! When are we going to see more Westcomb???

I don't own an iPod but I thought I would give this jacket a shot anyways. I'm 5'11" 44R and L fits nice and longer than a technical climbing piece. I don't really have anything that compares with this and that plus a nice sale price are why I decided to keep this. Between a Gamma SV, and a MHW Transition in weight, insulation and durability but much less than Gamma SV in wind/water-proofness (apples to oranges really). Great for aerobic activities in cooler weather - the thumbholes are a great addition. The final kicker to give this a 5 is it is not made in China (Made in Canada)

Well when I ordered this product i thought that it might do what a jacket was suposed to do, keep you warm. But on the contrary, it is so thin that i have long sleeve tshirts that are thicker and warmer than this thing was. it would be a great product if only it had some wight to it.
