Love it
This jacket is a fantastic blend of style and functionality. The helmet-compatible hood is a standout feature, perfect for winter sports or unexpected weather. It packs into its own chest pocket, making it easy to stow and carry. With two zippered hand pockets and a hidden chest pocket, it offers great storage options. The updated design ensures a modern fit and added comfort. Ideal for both casual wear and outdoor adventures, this jacket is a must-have for versatility and convenience!
The most comfortable jacket I’ve ever worn!!! But….
This is by far the most comfortable jacket I’ve ever worn and can’t recommend it enough to anyone who gets after it in the mountains. But the 20d nylon material that covers the primaloft insulation is extremely delicate and gets little fibers coming off anywhere it rubs on literally anything. My face stubble tears the fibers it’s way to delicate. I wish it was just a bit more abrasion resistant because it is amazingly comfortable. You can wear it in 50 degree f weather all the way down into the low 20’s and still be comfortable. It’s amazing at keeping you at the right temperature. Just is beyond delicate… my bread stubble shouldn’t tear up the nylon face fabric that is just ridiculous for outdoor gear. Seriously you will have to be so careful with it, and for the price it shouldn’t be that delicate.
Very good, but not perfect
I love the weight to warmth ratio of this coat, which is great. It keeps my core and arms warm during high-output activities, without overheating for the most part. Between the thin wool panels and adjusting the zip, I’ve been able to dial in heat management while active. I also really like the chest pocket, reflective zips, and pack-in-pocket features. The only two downsides are that the hood is oversized for a helmet (not usually an issue, but without any adjustments, it makes it far too large and cumbersome for everyday, non-helmet wear), and I noticed a small amount of premature wear on the smooth material after my first backcountry ski tour wearing it. As skinning was one of its advertised activities, I was surprised to find that the material was already worn from the backpack on my first long outing wearing it. I’ll continue to wear and enjoy the jacket, but it’s not as durable as I expected.
The perfect touring jacket
I’ve been on the hunt for a jacket like this for years. No insulation on the back means I’m not overly sweaty at the top of the skin track from my pack. At temperatures in the 20s I find I’m good with just a short sleeve underneath, but I run extremely hot. I wish it had pit zips to dump heat, but aside from that it’s perfect.
Designed very well, but delicate
The insulation is mapped extremely well — the best that I have seen . Even heating for high output activities. Only negative is that the fabric is super cozy which also means that itisdelicate. If you do not gingerly handle the article, it will look pretty rough after a couple washes or wears as an outer layer.
Gamble paid off
Price is high, I didn’t even get a color I normally would wear (flax), but after using on some ski tours I can happily say that the reviews are true. Quite possibly one best insulating, athletic fit and pack wearing friendly garments one could wear for high output activity. I’m happy with this purchase
Nice piece of gear.
Like it so far, seems like a solid fit for several different types of approach/conditions. I’m actually excited for the weather to dip down, as it’s summer now, although I plan on using it in the Dolomites and Italian Alps toward the end of summer.
The best jacket I've ever
The best jacket I've ever worn for touring. Puts the ventilation where it should be and leaves the insulation in the right spots so you do NOT overheat! Excellent fit. Great hood. Wool is amazing. Thank you very much.
Maybe the perfect shoulder season coat.
I've been loving the First Light Hybrid Hoody. Comfortable and great weight for fall/spring outdoor activities. I wear it everyday in town and on the trails. Might have to buy a second one.
My favorite mid layer
I purchased three for myself, and more for my kids. My favorite mid layer by far for high output activities. Worth to weight ratio is solid. Minimize sweating because of the heat mapping.
