Sometime I see people have their own mindset about what a jacket should do, but I see this jacket used by people and they get mad because they did not understand what they were buying, and think this is a a DAS Parka.

What several of us in my mountaineering circle use this jacket for is as a sound replacement from a fleece midlayer and additionally used as light summer insulation layer for in camp for some additional warmth on cool Alaska summer "dusk/night".

When insulated jackets are purchased, one would assume that the front of the hand-warmer pockets would be insulated. These are not! There's just a piece of nylon shell to "protect" one's hands.

If you have to have gloves to keep your hand warm in cool weather and run the constant risk of losing or misplacing them to make an insulated jacket work, it doesn't work.

Great insulation, Polarguard Delta, but the fabric is thinner than the previous Puffball Sweater. It would be great to have in a pack, as back up, if you needed to stay warm, but it does not seem to hold up around town. Seems like too many corners were cut to save weight. The first Patagonia I have ever had to return due to quality concerns.
