In one word: toasty. The sort of jacket you can wear when you are on belay on a winter’s day, in the shade, and don’t need to shiver yourself warm. The sort of jacket that makes lunch breaks while ski touring a pleasant experience, rather than one to be rushed through. The sort of jacket where you can be happily out of your sleeping bag past dusk on a winter camping trip.
