THE COMFIEST AND WARMEST OUTER JACKET I'VE EVER HAD
Really cosy to wear, it's windproof, has a high collar, no draughts get in the neck when it's fully zipped up. nor in the elasticated cuffs or drawstring hem. Doesn't restrict movement too much. Dries quickly if it gets damp. Packs down to small size in its own stuffsack, so doesn't take up too much room in your rucksack. Fold it in half and put it in your sleeping bag stuffsack for a really comfortable pillow.
The outer pertex shell could be stronger - mine is wearing and fraying around the cuffs and hem. You still need a waterproof in anything other than a few spits of rain.
As far as I know, there's nothing else in it's class (forget down ones, which must stay dry) and I wouldn't swap it for anything else.
