I FIND THIS A VERY VERSATILE WINTER JACKET . IT PROVIDES ENOUGH WARM IN THE COLD WHEN ACTIVE , WITHOUT CAUSING YOU TO SWEAT . YOU ARE ABLE TO REGULATE TEMPERATURE WITH FULL LENGTH ZIP . MY FAVOURITE JACKET.
My favourite jacket .So many accessible pockets, great for when I was hauling sled in Arctic Sweden … sometimes hard to remember which pocket I put what in. I found the jacket warm enough when hauling in snow storms… stopped the wind, and I didn’t overheat with exerting myself. Having a full length zip allowed me to regulate my temperature easily . I used it in combination with my ECW down jacket (layering ) at -30C in Arctic Greenland , and up on deck with riming ice in Svalbard . Toasty inside . Being identifiable as a Kiwi , proud to wear the NZ flag
