Not quite as warm as some other jackets of that style but I find its exceptionally lightweight and is warm enough.

Only grip I have found and beware of this one. The chest pocket thats sort of in between the front zip and the storm flaps isn't waterproof. My phone was in it during a rain and came out a little damp. Luckily no damage but in some of the storms I've been in recently it would of been knackered.


I've found that out too, little disappointing but it is near the vent. There is another pocket on the lower right hand side of the jacket, however it only has a Velcro seal on it.
