      That's since been updated. Great fit mate! Hope it keeps you warm. I can still recall Giles looking particularly smug in minus 10 last year in NYC whilst I struggled in a deck jacket.

      The devil is in the detail..

          Brought it out to Aspen this past weekend. I decided to see how it would handle in a hike up Highland Peak (12392' / 3777 meters) at Aspen Highlands. I had to unzip pretty quickly, but I didn't feel nearly as sweaty as I would have in older down jackets. That said, I felt very sufficiently warm in cold temps with just a t-shirt, though I doubt I had anything below 10 F / -12 C, so it wasn't really all that cold.

          Everyone hiking up hoping for first turns (you can see the looooong line way up there):

          On or near the summit:

                  I’ve wanted one of these for years.

                  I have absolutely zero reason to own it other than I think it looks cool 🙂

                    I was chatting to a customer who has one yesterday.  What he said is remarkable about it, is that when it is severely cold, it does it's job, but when it is cool/warm you do not overheat whilst wearing it.  This guy has had every brand of high end outdoor gear there is, in his opinion, this jacket has no equal…..Floridian heat may be pushing the boundaries though.......

                      Great info G - I’ll see how the first few days of really chilly weather get. What’s weird is the humidity plays such a huge part for us - 45F with 85% humidity can be bone chilling..

                              Any sizing advice on this one? I wear XXL in UHF, maybe a little on the snug side with XXL. Ive checked the measurements on the jacket and i dont know how to compensate for all the insulation the jacket has.

                                @bigwhat62, I personally wear it one size down (small) from my UHF size (medium).

                                    thanks for this.  one size smaller looks like it would work for me.  id feel a lot more comfortable if i could try two sizes on back to back. this jacket is so dang good.

                                      FWIW, mine was getting pretty dirty, so I just gave it its first wash in 2 years. I used Nixwax Tech Wash and it came out clean as a whistle. The waterproofing had reduced a little over 2 years of hard wear, so I had planned to use Nikwax TX.Direct Spray On. However, I forgot to apply it while the jacket was still wet. So, I decided to just to the jacket out in the rain before soaking it again, and it seemed to be fine and fully waterproof, and I won't bother with a spray-on for now. Next time I wash it, I'll probably just apply the spray anyway because it can't hurt.

                                            Thanks! We're pretty similar! I'm 5' 11 1/2" 155 myself. I'm always M on UHF and I'm S on this.
