For the price (under $80 shipped at time of purchase) this is a great jacket. It's a cheaper alternative to the nanopuff and thermoballs of the world. It's surprisingly lightweight and packable. It won't get as small as the nanopuff but still respectable given the price. It's finish is sub par...loose threads abound. I wanted a jacket with a hood but this one is fairly loose. It would blow off in any substantial wind. Fine over a hat or helmet. Overall this jacket is a GREAT value but it is has less refinement and packability compared to more expensive down and synthetic puffers. But shoot, if you can score it for $65-80 it's worth having in the arsenal. I'm 5'10 and broad shoulders/athletic. Large fits with room for thermal/fleece underlayer.
