"I'm 6'2" 175 lbs, with long-ish arms. The fit on the medium is pretty "spot-on" for my stature. It actually fits so well that sometimes I feel more like I'm wearing a sweater, rather than a jacket. The Compressor has proven to be exactly what I needed in an insulation layer."

This jacket is amazing!! Incredibly warm, in such a small footprint! I take this jacket everywhere. I wore it on a 20 degree windy night with a base and mid-layer underneath, and let me tell you I was as cozy as could be! This is a must buy, if you are looking lots of warmth in a little light weight size!

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.

"I bought this jacket thinking and assured by EMS staff that it was high quality. Well, it's not. It is marketed as a rugged lightweight piece but it's not.

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

"This jacket is great if you like to travel light! It is very warm and even better when it's windy. I wanted it to be cold to put this jacket through a test and it passed with flying colors!!

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."

"Well, I tried this jacket on in the store and it felt like exactly what I was looking for. A lightweight, highly compressible jacket to serve as my general backcountry and hanging out (not moving/exercising too much) warm jacket. My main problems with this jacket are the durability."

Reviewed by african, Jun 29, 2006

"Great jacket if weight and space is the primary concern. Materials not suited to take a lot of punishment, but that is to be expected for any lightweight garment. Great insulation for its weight. Tight fit with long sleeves and not too bulky - perfect as layer under shell or spare layer in case of cold weather.

Bit expensive at normal retail price."
