Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Clip into the anchor, put your buddy on belay, and zip up the MontBell Men's Flatiron Parka. Filled with compressible, warm-when-wet Exceloft insulation and finished with a DWR coating, the Flatiron is built to handle wet, cold alpine conditions. Internal mesh pockets stop your water from freezing, while the two-way front zipper lets you access your belay device while wearing the jacket."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"MontBell Flatiron Parka: MontBell’s highly functional synthetic belay parka flaunts a 100-wash rated DWR, while deftly balancing durability and lightweight compressibility. They utilize their proprietary Exceloft insulation to meet the unique demands of those uncomfortable wet conditions that accompany most winter belays. An extra layer of 30-denier nylon has been installed in the interior to combat single quilt “cold spots” that occur along traditional sewing lines. The DWR treated flat surface coil zipper repels water and snow allowing them to eliminate a storm flap and save some weight, while the 2-way slider on the main zipper makes dealing with harness or hip belt a breeze. Simple lines and well thought out features yield a parka engineered to please in just about any mountain setting: town, trail, or route.

Perfect jacket for cool to cold weather activities! I completed a month and a half of kayaking and mountaineering in Chilean Patagonia from March through mid April and this jacket preformed beautifully.

I originally bought this jacket in December and I used it constantly living in Boston in the winter.
