Robert Seevers's review
I've been using this layer extensively for the past few years. I use it on all of my shoulder season climbing outings as a outler layer if it gets chilly and as a mid layer in the winter under a shell or parka. It is lightweight and warm for its weight. I suggest layering with your preferred base layer or fleece.
