"Lightweight, comfortable and durable. It feels built to last, and admittedly it looks pretty dang good as well!"
"Just did a weekend of multipitch in Red Rocks at the end of January. Long sleeve base layer, zip up waffle fleece, and this coat on top. Conditions varying from belaying in the shade in the mid 30's with 50mph wind gusts, to sunning like a lizard in the calm 50 degree sun. This was easy to throw on when needed, and easy to pack away when not. I'm 5'11" 190lb, usually wear size M-L, got this in a L and it fit comfortably over a hoodie."
"I bought this for an upcoming backpacking trip but I’ve been wearing it around casually and it is great. Super light weight but yet keeps me warm!"
"BD does it again. Great combination of technical attributes and puffy comfort. Packs easily, the fitted cuff is really thought out and a great bonus. Hood works with helmet, and the water resistance is a bonus. Not bulky. Using for an added layer for skiing, skin track, and general wear."
"Sizing was a little small. 6'2" 190 and a XL is just a little snug when moving and stretching. Wonderfully warm for it's thickness."
"The fit on this jacket is fantastic, its perfect for wearing as a solo layer, but still fits great under a shell when layering up on a cold day. This is a great wear everyday puffy."
"Fitted, I’m 6’1” 180 and have a medium. I can wear a long sleeve base layer for it to fit perfectly. With a sweater, the stretch becomes a bit more valuable, but the fit is still right. I will be buying a second without the hood because I mainly wear it under a shell and use the use the shell hood."
"Nice fit. Warm. Good DWR fabric. Fits nicely under a shell. Hood is good with a helmet. Replacing an older version that the pocket zipper blew out on. This is an improved product!"
"Comfortable and warm. Everyday jacket. Love it. 5'10" 180lbs. Size large. Fits well if you want to be able to wear over a layer or two."
"Very compatible under my mission hoody in extreme cold, or as a top layer on warmer winter days. Commuting, snowboarding, dog walking -this jacket gets used daily. Great look and feel !"
