Kick-ass product, which is what I've come to expect from TNF. Used the jacket on a Rainier summit in 2000 when I had to stand beside the ruts for 45 minutes while another climber was taken down to Disappointment Cleaver. The wind blew and the water bottles froze, but not me. I was toasty warm with the hood pulled tight around my head.

I'm 5'7", so this length works better for me with a harness than the longer-length Mountain Light. I have a 200 weight and a 300 weight fleece that are integral to the jacket. The velcro adjustments at the cuffs are a breeze, with maximum flexibility. Articulated elbows and hood are great features as well. You can buy an older version with the pit zips instead of the core vents and save yourself big bucks. Get one and never look back.
