What owners single out
In their words
“My new go-to jacket for active outdoor activities. Light jacket that I use for a windbreak while hiking and it breathes well. Fits nicely over a lot of insulating layers to for stationary times. I use it for hunting as well when the wind picks up. Coyote color is perfect for that and it is a tough fabric that my packs are made out of so brush won't wreck it. Worth the money even at full price.”

“The jacket is certainly high quality, well-made, and very comfortable. I am 5'11, 185, 34 inch waist, fairly large chest and shoulders. . . L size fits ever so slightly snug around the chest and shoulders, but because of the stretch I could easily layer a hoodie under there and possibly a light puffer too. The issue for me is the sleeves are a little too long and the wrist opening is slightly too ”
