"Versatile - great layer for super cold days or warmer spring days with a flannel. It’s in my backcountry ski pack every time. Warmth to weight / bulk ratio is spot on."
"Great fit, perfect for layering."
"Bought these for me and some friends for the holidays. Great fit and finish with Black Diamonds consistent quality! Everyone was happy and had to order some extra for this that got their feelings hurt! These do run a touch small or maybe it’s all the junk food from the holidays…. . ?"
