"I love my new Jacket! Is so comfortable, warm and fits perfectly. We went to Zermatt Switzerland last week where the temperature on the Matterhorn was 7 degrees Fahrenheit and my jacket was a truly champion! (I wear it with a base layer and a top hard shell) and it keeps me warm and comfortable. Love it!"
"Great finish, warm but thin and light. Just perfect for snowshoes/cross-country ski outings in case I need a little more warmth when taking a break or it is colder than I expected."
"Super comfy and warm. Looking forward to having it for my Nepal trip!"
"I used the down jacket to climb the tallest peak in Mexico and it did its job. It was very light and compact and great for the wind."
"Yep, I'll be wearing this one a lot. It's a fun bright color, and instantly warm when I put it on. Planning to use this for the Tahoe winters and for cool climbing and camping days."
"Sizing guide was right on - I would fit into a medium, bought I'm glad I bought a large to put other layers underneath. All mechanics seem great quality."
"Perfect weight. Very cozy. Hood is very big so a little odd without a helmet but otherwise great."
"Lightweight, packs small, and super warm for alpine ascents. Hoodie fits over helmet and stays snug."
"Bought for my daughter who is using it to layer for winter snow bike races- she loves it!"
"light, warm, slim-fit. Also love the vivid color."
