Nice and Toasty!
Love this jacket! Super light so it doesn't weigh you down during your outdoor activities. The omniheat really keeps you warm! The pit zips are a must for me. When things really get heated, I simply unzip them and cool down the core. I've worn it through a driving rainstorm and stayed completely dry. The ability to separate the jackets is an added bonus!

This is a very nice jacket
This is a very nice jacket. The quality of the materials is amazing and everything is thought out very well. The jacket is very, very thin and comfortable - you barely feel it on. Unfortunately it is not as warm as I expected, the insulation is just too thin.

Got this coat about 2 months ago, then it got really cold around here. It's been awesome, it maintains the warmth and resists the bone chilling winds. The lining in the hood is a neat feature which keeps your ears warm. The material on the chin is nice too. It's the best coat I've bought so far. Another plus is the inner coat, which is lightweight and great for those milder days

Great Jacket
The combination of the omniheat and omnitech makes this jacket great for anytipe of cold weather or rainy/windy weather. I used for skiing, the temp was 5F with snow and I felt no cold and just had the jacket on. Also you can use any of the 2 jackets since its interchangeable which makes you feel that you good 2 jackets for the price of one. Great product 5 stars.

Perfect coat for Alaska
The waterproof shell is perfect for the snow and the down liner is just what you need for the negative temperature. It is also stylish at the same time. My husband has worn this in -35 temps and it has done the trick.
