An athletic cut means it has a slightly fitted torso, while the shoulders are roomy for ease of movement. The hood fits well and is cosy with a generous fill of down. Its rain-shell style drawcord tightens the hood to your head, allowing it to move with you when you turn and maintaining peripheral vision. There’s optimum warmth to weight with 800+ fill power and the hood gives ample head and neck
