I am really into gear, so i've tried on a lot of jackets, and this one is probably the most impressive piece of kit i've bought. Really well thought out features, great pockets, hand pockets are really comfortable and warm. Hood is really well done and adjustable. I wore it with the Cetra pants on a mountain in vermont and it was extremely warm and comfortable, despite falling in the snow about a million times on my way down. The designers at beyond really knocked it out of the park with this one. Maybe the only jacket ive had that i'd consider wearing if i had a job in the snow.
So happy to have found this company, and I hope I get the chance to buy another one of these jackets in a new colorway next year. For the outlet price this jacket is a steal, took it to vermont and it kept me perfectly warm down in the 10's of degrees, blocks the wind, does great in precipitation, no cold spots, and is incredibly light. basically perfect for what it is.
This jacket is great quality. It is slightly oversized for layering and to loft the warm air around your body. The outer shell is durable. The hood is useful, and I like the built-in face protector with velcro closure. The down alternative insulation is far superior to the Mt Hardware sub zero down jacket. The sale price on this jacket is incredibly generous. This jacket will be a key piece in your layering system for Arctic conditions. When I completed a WEMT course in Alaska in December, I took gear from several major brands, my Beyond Clothing layering system outperformed them all. I am happy to add this piece to my layering system.
Since discovering Beyond Clothing, I've purchased many of their items and was never disappointed with any of my selections. The Geo-T crew L.S. shirt is no exception. Sizing as always is right on and looks good whether worn casually or out on an adventure..
I was very impressed by this. I got the coat as well. I have the L7 pants and the quality is great on both.
