Got the eco version as a warranty replacement for the original Thermo all 3-in-1. Wish I had patched and kept the old one. While this system is definitely warm and windproof, the waterproofing in terribly lacking in the Eco version. Days that were no problem with the old system turned to water logged warm up laps with the Eco versions. Still love the flexibility in layering, the internal layer becomes a daily driver for cool mornings out of season and backpacking trips. Also wish there were more internal pockets, meaning more than ZERO. a big goggle starch is the only option or storage on the interior.
I bought this a month ago and used it once in mammoth. It was warm with my layers underneath on the lifts in 20f weather wind some winds. It was nice having dual zippered chest pockets and hand pockets for quick access. The dow fall is that there’s no Che’s pocket inside or out on the liner Thermo ball jacket. And the hand pockets don’t zip either. I kept losing stuff and always wishing for a chest pocket. For $300 I want a the extra pocket and zippers. I’m going back to my summit series. It’s more expensive but has the features I like.
As mentioned in another review, there is a narrow inner flap that runs up the left side next to the zipper, and it gets stuck in the zipper a lot. And it’s a pain to get unstuck. After the 3rd time in just 4 days of buying it, I left it stuck and returned it. It would happen no matter how careful I was when zipping it. This is too bad because I really liked the jacket and the removable liner.
I purchased it a little big, and it came in as I thought. Overall, it appears nice, but I haven't been able to fully utilize it yet. However, when I pulled out the inner liner to use as a standalone jacket, the sleeves had no elastic at the wrist which basically makes the inner liner useless. I'll need to use my old liner with this in the future.
The zipper got stuck on a narrow inner flap. I would have to use pliers to get it unzipped. It was returned.
The packing fluff in the inner zipper is non-existent. It’s definitely wind proof and a great layering system, but they definitely slimed out of looks and features with the inner layer
The jacket seemed fine, but the fit was too snug in the chest and underarms. I’m between a L and XL.
