Untitled ReviewCons: Although GoLite says that the hood is cut for a climbing helmet, my BD Half Dome does not fit very well under it. Also, the jacket is very tight around my neck when I zip it all the way up (and I have a pencil neck).
This jacket would be excellent for summer alpine uses, but I would be wary using it in winter. I have yet to experience this jacket in severe mountain weather, so I will update my review after this summer season. Also, shop around, I bought mine for almost half of the suggested retail price.
