The purpose of this thread is to offer a forum for companion discussion to the 2005 review summary, gear guide, and individual reviews for (M) High Loft Synthetic Insulating (Belay-Style) Jackets.
Interesting points of discussion that came out during the review process included:
- Polarguard vs. Primaloft?
- Breathable Shell vs. Waterproof Shell?
- Less or more quilting?
- Sizing: oversize or keep it trim?
These and other issues are open for discussion.
Bottom line: has any of these companies truly “nailed” the winter jacket yet?
