Great fitting in the MH tradition. Love this jacket, great by itself on hikes or snowshoeing. Great layered under a shell for really cold days snowboarding. Just a great overall jacket.

Great all-around winter jacket I bought these to use as insulating layer for outdoors, and ended up using them almost everyday. Light and warm and pretty stylish too, not puffy at all. The chin guard on the collar is really nice. They don't really breathe so I had to take them off when snowshoeing to prevent overheating. But that's not a fault for this type of garment. My only concern is with the fabric, its so thin I'm afraid to rip it on something I bump into, like doorways, but so far it stood up well.

Awesome jacket. Very high warmth to weight ratio! I was looking for an insulated jacket that wouldn't be puffy but would still be warm. After receiving it and seeing how thin it actually was, I was a little skeptical. As soon as you put it on and zip it up, though, you can feel your body heat getting trapped and you begin to feel the warmth right away. I tested this over a t-shirt in 15-20 degree weather as soon as I got it and was not cold at all. Amazing warmth to weight ratio! Thought it would be just a good base layer but now I know it can easily stand alone in very cold weather. Primaloft One is one of the best synthetics I've ever seen.
