User Reviews

Expert Reviews

• The super-soft fabric has a tendency to show wear-and-tear easily.
• Ability for the wind to flow through the jacket.
• No adjustments on the hood to change tightness.
• FullRange insulation isn’t as compressible as traditional synthetic fill.
• Offers little wind-resistance.
• Stowaway pocket is too small and takes too long to pack into it.
