From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Men's Compressor PL Jacket is a super-light insulator for high-alpine assaults. It packs down in a small stuff sack and fits in the corner of your pack until you need it as an extra layer. Mountain Hardwear stuffed it with synthetic PrimaLoft One insulation, which maintains its insulating properties even when wet. Beyond climbing, the Compressor's light weight and packability make it easy to bring on backcountry tours or even as a mid-layer for lift skiing."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Mt. Rainier is the tallest Mountain in Washington State and when you are bivying at the base of Interglaicer, in order to make your moonlit summit bid, warmth and protection from the weather are priority #1. Those who know and understand this pick the Mountain Hardwear Compressor PL Jacket for Men as their synthetic insulation piece because it has a great warmth-to-weight ratio and continues to insulate even when wet."
From REI:
"Stay warm in this ultra-lightweight, insulated jacket. It's great for alpine climbing and backcountry adventures. High-tenacity superlight nylon is lightweight and tear-resistant; Durable Water Repellent finish repels moisture. Primaloft® One synthetic insulation mimics the physical and thermal properties of down; it keeps you warm and continues to insulate when damp. One-handed, adjustable neck drawcord. Micro-chamois-lined chinguard protects against abrasion. One-handed hem drawcord and laminated cuff tabs with VELCRO® brand closure help seal out the elements. Features fleece-lined hand pockets and interior zip pocket."

As everyone else says it is far from bombproof, it will snag and tear so you need to be careful and wear a shell over it if you are bushwhacking around.

The jacket now has several small tears - I never even hiked in it. Also, the zipper used is about as cheap as it gets."

Sadly my jacket was stolen a few days before Christmas. So don't be like me and keep a good eye on it wherever you go."
