Any one have Ascent PrimaLoft Hooded Jacket

I'd much rather have Thermaloft Micro insulation or Climashield (probably best) for better loft retention over time.

I have not looked into the thermaloft but I will do some research on it.
I have done a couple of searches for a climashield light wieght jacket and have not been able to find any. Do you happen to know a brand I should be searching for.
Thanks Jeff

I found after a quick search that TNF uses Climashield. Not sure if that really helps though.

I had to talk to the people at LL bean to figure this out because it seemed like an awesome buy, but it is pretty heavy. Here is what I found out:

weight: 1 lb 11 ounces or 765 grams
insulation: 5 oz on the body 4 oz in the sleezes
fill: primaloft 1
water repellent: DWR coating

cheers

Eric, can you give an example of a thermaloft or climashield jacket? I've been looking and haven't see one (other than an add for an older womens patagonia puff jacket.)

primaloft works fine … just dont stuff it in a compression sack or a top loading washing machine

the premier alpine jackets used by guides use primaloft … patagonia DAS

synthetic jackets will usually be heavier regardless … if they arent then they just arent that warm … case in point the montbell thermawrap parka or my arcteryx atom lt hoody are only about as warm as a 200 weight fleece

it is however lighter than a 200 weight fleece ;)

the rule with synthetic jackets (like syn bags) is that you buy them cheap and on sale … and wear em out … and buy a new one … and youll prob still be ahead
