From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Outdoor Research Men's Trance Sweater (Fall 2007) Break camp in the dark hours before morning, move warm and strong through the early hours of the day in the Trance Sweater by Outdoor Research: this lightweight piece functions as a camp sweater or a cold-weather layer. A moderate amount of 700-fill down insulation makes this sweater a light, warm, and highly compressible alternative to fleece. On stormy days the 30D ripstop polyester shell offers wind-resistant protection, while the DWR finish repels moisture. Stretch openings allow your hands to slip into the warm brushed tricot-lined pockets whenever the cold nips at your fingertips. The included stuff sack compresses the Trance to the size of a one-liter bottle when pack space is critical. Average Weight: 15.4 oz. / 437 g Features: Minimum 700-fill down insulation Lightweight 30D ripstop polyester shell Close-cut fit for layering Lightweight, sewn-through construction Brushed tricot-lined collar Full-length front zipper with inner stormflap Zippered napoleon pocket Brushed tricot-lined handwarmer pockets with stretch binding openings Stretch binding on cuffs and hem Stuff sack included"

From Backcountry.com:
"An ultra-compact design lets you use the Outdoor Research Men's Trance Sweater Down Jacket as either an outer shell or as a mid-layer, so you can adapt to whatever weather the mountain throws your way. This 650+ fill down jacket adds only 14.7oz to your pack and takes up the same amount of space as a one-liter water bottle. The Outdoor Research Trance Sweater Down Jacket provides more insulation than a fleece at less weight, making it a great choice for ounce-obsessed backpackers and climbers."

"This is a fantastic lightweight down jacket. Extremely light at only 14 oz. and packable down to a 1L water bottle size. Although this is not your typical big puffy down jacket, it is very warm and allows for a fleece or two underneath if it gets below 15-20 degrees."
