Super warm – Can be used as a sleeping bag in some conditions
Bulky – because of the size it is a bit unwieldly
This jacket is legit….Best I’ve worn in winter conditions…Wore the jacket and pant in 15 degree weather during a winter camping trip last season……I was extremely warm. When paired with a mid layer..(upper and lower)…incredibly warm…Definitely buy a size down…I’m a big dude…6 foot..210 lbs…So I thought I’d buy a large long….Epic mistake…Fits extremely big…Other than that….Jacket is phenomenal…
I would suggest sizing down because these are large.
