Sub Zero SL

Warm, soft, and comfortable. Compresses to almost half the size of the included stuffsack, then regains its loft quickly. A built-in pocket key lanyard would be welcome. I believe that Mountain Hardwear has created an excellent product, perhaps the best readily available to the masses, but still feel that fill loss is an issue. I would also like to see a more baffled back on a down jacket to reduce down redistribution due to seat backs and backpacks.

Warm construction seems excellent. The drawstrings are placed very well. The pockets are lined with fleece. Everything on this jacket is in the right spot. It also compresses into a tiny stuffsack. This jacket is worth the expense.
