I have taken this jacket through a serious range of environments in a short period of time : from cold, high-altitude camps above 6000m to desert conditions lower down, and it has impressed me at every step. Despite its seemingly light build, it has been surprisingly warm and dependable when the temperatures dropped, yet it remained breathable and versatile enough to wear during more active stretc Paul L. · mountainhardwear.ca

I've had this jacket for a few months now and simply love it. Comfortable and warm. the cuffs are great and not annoying like some other model and the sizing is also what I expected. I am 6'1, 185lbs and I can put a sweater under. Seems to be of very good quality with good isolation. The reason for the 3 stars is the zipper. Although the jacket itself is great, the zipper is poorly designed. It is Mat · Black Diamond Equipment
