Greg McCandless's review

Ever since my wife bought a 686 jacket, I've been recommending them as they outperform their pricepoint by a mile. Very comfortable and this jacket in particular has thoughtful insulation deployment so the body, sleeves, and hood each have different amounts of insulation to keep everything at a comfy temp.
