Love this jacket. Weighs almost nothing and incredibly warm.

Very good, and much as I expected after doing internet research prior to buying. Just 2 minor disappointments. (1) Does not compact down to fit in its own pocket, and is not as compressible as I would like in a stuff sac (but that is the price you pay for choosing synthetic insulation instead of down!)
(2) When cinched down the hood tends to cover my eyes! This may be because I chose XL size (instead of L) to allow more room for under-layers; but it may also make the hood a looser fit and exacerbate the problem?
I plan to use it as a cold-weather around-camp top layer, rather than active wear (on the go, walking).
