light, supremely comfortable, and fits well for an athletic frame and/or broad shoulders, or to allow layers. the extra cost shows up in thoughtful extras or fit - a hood that cinches just right, a little longer tail, zippered pockets etc... Packs to next to nothing in its own bag to be stashed in pack. I used this climbing Mt St Helens in winter and it was a great breathable warmth. The green color is also really attractive.
I love the green color I got. For spending this much on a coat I wish it didn’t have strings hanging off the seams. The coat was not unraveling, it just looked looks cheap when you have to cut a string here and there. The sizing was great. I bought a medium and there’s plenty of room for sweatshirt underneath. I’m about 5’8” and 165. I’m very happy with the sleeve length too!
I was really excited for this jacket, but ended up returning it because the fit was so off for my body. It was fitted throughout - hips and waist - yet the shoulders were huge. Otherwise it seemed like it would’ve been a great jacket!
