Comments about REI Revelcloud Jacket - Men's:
Superlight, warm, windproof, looks good (got the black), really comfortable, packs small, fits well. Unlike most of the other thin primaloft jackets I tried, this one doesn't bind in the armpits. I'm size 38, small fits me very well. Slippery, so easy to use as a mid-layer. Unlike down, simple to wash, dries quickly and doesn't lose its warmth if wet. Will use it for kayaking, camping, skiing, etc., and looks good enough for casual wear. Would not normally use it for activities that are very aerobic (e.g., hard hiking), as probably doesn't breathe well enough.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Jacket - Men's:
This is the second jacket I bought. The first one is a medium and while it fits fine over a base layer, it is not large enough for multiple layers. I like the original one so much, I bought an additional one - Large. I wanted to take it in the winter when hiking, so a large gives me room for a few layers. Used it many times this past snow shoeing and slack-country ski season. Perfect jacket for when you are sitting around the campsite at night or early morning and great for putting on when you take breaks in winter or at altitude.

I bought this to replace an aging REI Woodland Fleece jacket. This is lighter, much warmer and exactly what I wanted. It is pricey, so I waited for a sale.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Jacket - Men's:
I bought this jacket on a bit of a whim and I am so glad that I did. It works great as an mid-layer if it's really cold outside. But honestly, I use it as my go-to runaround jacket for a variety of temperatures. Go out when it's sub-freezing with a flannel underneath or use it when it's 60*F out over a tee-shirt just as comfortably.
I found the fit to be 'athletic.' I'm 6'-2", around 200lbs and the Large fits me well. The sleeves go to my wrist bone and the waist stops right at belt level.
I bought the green color and the calmness of the darker green is pretty subdued while the neon zipper lining really makes pops out to give it some flair.
I love that it packs into itself pretty easily and packs down pretty small. It doubles as a decent pillow when needed.
I chose this jacket over the Patagonia down version that everybody-and-their-mother already has and I couldn't be happier.

The first time I saw this jacket, I thought it was so awesome. The color and the fabric. I waited and it was worth it. I love the jacket!
Fits well, washes easily, and keeps to what is advertises. The best purchase I have ever made at REI.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Jacket - Men's:
I had the same jacket about a couple years old, right as everyone was releasing they synthetic down jackets. Preferred it to Patagonia's version (and cheaper). The zipper on the pockets kept snagging on the lining of the pocket and eventually ripped a hole. So I went to REI and they replaced it with a new one. I like the color better (the previous one was a duller gray/green) and it fits perfectly. I also like the internal zip pocket for folding the jacket in on itself. I had lost the baggie the old jacket came with.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Jacket - Men's:
Took out my Primaloft jacket first time this week and all I can say is wow! Wore it on a 6.5 mile walk with just a L/S very thin dri fit type shirt. Did not feel a bit of cold or wind in 39-40 degree windy weather. I was kinda skeptical at first, how could something this light be warm, but it is magic and it really works.
The pack moves around more when on this jacket vs. any type of shirt or shell. Not a biggie but you will need to keep that mind when adjusting straps.
**If you are in the market and don't have tons of cash definitely go with the REI version vs. any of the other brands**

Hiked in 9'- 29' weather and as a outer shell it did a great job keeping me warm and the wind off my chest. Had on thermal and fleece underneath but it was warm after that. Good jacket overall.

Bought this jacket over the Patagonia Down Sweater and a few others because of the weight and value. I'm so grateful. It is incredibly warm, even on half-mile walks near the lake in Chicago when the wind chill is 5 degrees. And it folds into it's own zipper pack and fits snugly in luggage/a pack. Great for a lightweight backpacking warmth option or business trips to the cold weather cities in winter.
For 50 bucks less than the down sweater, I couldn't be happier. Fits great under my Patagonia rain shell as an insulating layer too
