User Reviews

• Not suitable for a stand-alone jacket in cold temperatures.
• Runs small and fits tightly in the arms and chest, so you will need to size-up to wear layers underneath.
• Not waterproof.
• Small arm/shoulder pocket is placed awkwardly and may not be useful.
• It isn’t very breathable in slightly warmer temperatures or high intensity activities.
• No inside chest pocket for storage.
• Sleeves tend to run a bit long.
• Doesn’t provide much warmth, and will need to be layered in mild/cold temperatures.

Expert Reviews

• High-intensity outdoor activities cause overheating due to material and interior fleece-lining.
• When rock climbing, the jacket can ride out of the harness, or the cuffs fall below wrists.
• Tight and restrictive fit limit mobility.
• Heavier weight than similar models and not suited for throwing into a pack.
• Hem adjustments located in the hand warmer pockets are difficult to use with gloves on.
• Velcro can abrade the cuff and make it look worn.
• Lacking a hood for added weather protection.
