Great Value, WARM & Comfortable
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:
- Runs large
Pros: A wonderful all purpose jacket for light rain, snow and the cold. Very light weight feel, but performs like a heavier weight jacket. The insulated interior works well and the water resistant outer shell sheds water. Much warmer than I expected (a good thing) and super comfortable to wear. Very impressed with the comfort and movement provided. Nice clean, flat exterior surface. Space-blanket like interior lining really works. Interior zippered pocket gets lots of use. Everything is working well and I hope to get several years out of the jacket. Cons: The zipper and slider, like so many of the newer jackets are all cheap plastic (YKK #5), and time will tell how well they hold up. A front chest pocket would have been nice, but not provided Sizing : Jacket sizes appear to run large so unless you plan on layer clothing, consider ordering one size down (I am a Medium, but the size Small fit me fine).

First Impressions
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:
- Runs large
- Size Bought
- M
- Height
- 5` 10"
- Weight
- 190 lbs
Jacket is quality - it’s immediately apparent. Also that it’s sized BIG. I’m 5-10 / 190, bought a Medium and I’m justtttt on this side of NOT returning it for a Small. Anyone under that can probably buy a Small with confidence if you like more form-fitting stuff. The back covers a good portion of your behind. Arms are def longish, zipper quality gives me some pause but will be tested over time and the hood sits slightly askew when the jacket isn’t fully zipped. But when it is zipped, it’s perfectly molded and well-designed for full coverage. I almost get the impression how the hood lies is an afterthought, since it appears to be designed to usually be up. The dark cherry color is beautiful and more classy / subdued than I feared it might be. Jacket itself is solidly built and insulated with good, deep hand and inside chest pockets. Not bulky, just weighted-blanket comfortable. By the time May rolls around you won’t be wondering where it is until probably Oct. It’s def wayyy more than a light-insulation raincoat. Plenty of room for multiple-layers. Basically I see this as an excellent jack-of-all trades / master-of-none jacket for a place that has garbage weather a large % of the non-summer. Its not a pure backcountry shell but is def styled like one. Excited to test it out over an entire fall-winter-spring. Now that I’ve seen the build-quality I think the jacket would be a value even at full suggested retail - but getting it on sale is even better. Backcountry ordering, shipping and delivery process was stellar per usual. #End

Good synthetic jacket
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:
- Runs large
- Size Bought
- Small
While this isn't a backpacking piece it would be a great choice for a number of other activities including day hiking. I wear small to medium size outerwear depending on the make and model and a small fits me just about perfectly with some room for a layer underneath. While many may not appreciate the snaps that was one feature I specifically desired. Overall durability is OK. It has good warmth for its weight. As an occasional kayaker and camper I appreciate this sort of jacket. Would recommend for everything from boating to car camping to day hiking.
