"This was a great purchase and am super happy with its performance so far!"
"great jacket not very resitant but warm and light as hell"
"This hoody is surprisingly warm for its weight. It packs down nicely, fits great, and the hood fits nicely over my ski helmet. I wear it around town, toss it in my pack on ski tours, and wear it at resort on cold days."
"The hood is strangely large and the feathers inside the jacket are constantly poking out, but otherwise it's very warm and comfortable"
"This is my go-to for bike commuting, a warm up lap on cross country skis, or hanging out outside with the kids. Versatile, very lightweight, and stuffs easily into a small pocket on a backpack."
"Fits well and is warm, picked this up for when I need some something a little warmer than the solution. I am 5’8” 180 lbs and large fits me well."
"Warm and packs down to a small package. Great color too."
"Perfect isulating layer while keeping wieght to a minumum. The material is super soft and comfortable to wear and is very warm. This is replacing my synthetic layer for hunting and skiing."
"I bought this ahead of an ice climbing trip in Montana this January, and it did the trick. We were climbing in -20° weather and I stayed warm with just a base layer and sun hoodie on under this puffy."
"Awesome jacket! Great for layering on high-altitude climbs or as a stay-warm solution for everyday hikes."
