Rating:*****

Definately a worthy jacket... I owned several steep techs.. From steep tech and apogee and steep tech agency.... But keep me warn but not as comfortablr as the honcho jacket... It is 700 very light weight goose insulation that doesn't feel bulky but still very warm in frigid temperatures.... Wont ski i. It cause i dont want to punish it... Over all... Great in town winter jacket!
