I tested this to determine its comfort range by hiking at a 7 MET rate with a Patagonia thermal weight base layer, this active insulation layer, and a 35 CFM Arctery Squamish windshirt. This garment is both attractive and fully featured. The only thing missing are thumb loops to facilitate both layering and keeping your hands warm. I made the simple addition of 1/2” wide elastic tape ~ 4” long on the inside of the sleeves centered at the thumb. When not needed, the elastic loop is not visible and is against the inside of the sleeve.

4-Star Review for Dasche L3 Jacket
The Dasche L3 Jacket is an excellent piece of outerwear, but not quite perfect. The quality, warmth, and functionality are top-notch, and the pocket design is outstanding—both in number and size. It’s by far the best pocket setup I’ve seen in any jacket.
The only drawback for me is the hood design. It’s stored in a zipper compartment, but it tends to seep inside the jacket and doesn’t stay neatly contained. I find myself constantly tucking it back in, which can be a bit frustrating. Maybe I just need more time to get used to it.
Overall, it’s a highly functional and well-made jacket, just with a minor design quirk. Still, I’d absolutely recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
