Great product—always a fan of Patagonia. This jacket is extremely light yet surprisingly warm. I’ve used it in Patagonia, Argentina as wind protection during the summer, and also through New York winters, and it has performed beautifully in both conditions. I love how warm it is without feeling bulky. It layers easily with other pieces in the same size, packs down very small, and is perfect for tr Zuhaib R. · patagonia.com

Great fit, quality and warmth. Quite a difference in quality and warmth compared to Rab's Microlight Alpine jacket. Kept warm with simple base layer t-shirt in -20C walking a few kilometres. Developed quite a sweat doing 30 mins hike in deep snow with t-shirt and light sleeveless jacket underneath. With 30L loaded backpack and using trekking poles in snowy conditions, didn't feel restricted. In we Shihan M. · altitude-sports.com
