“I’ve been wanting this jacket for a while, and I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger. The quality is outstanding—durable, warm, and incredibly comfortable. It’s the perfect balance between lightweight mobility and serious warmth, making it great for long days in the field or just everyday wear. The fit is spot on, with enough room for layering without feeling bulky. First Lite really nailed it with this one. It’s built tough, performs in all conditions, and has quickly become my go-to jacket. Highly recommend to anyone looking for gear that truly delivers.”

I’m 5’10” 215lbs and the XL is going to fit perfect as my outer layer. The hand pockets line up perfectly between my bino harness and the belt of my pack. Quality construction, as usual. My only complaint is the Fusion pattern is drastically different from what’s pictured and my other fusion pieces. Overall, great product.

So far I’ve used it for two weekends in the back country. It packs down pretty good in my backpack, but it’s not that warm. I’m still playing with some layering combos to get the best pack ability and warmth. I think I’ve found a compromise, I just don’t know how well it will be for later season with heavier layers under.

Fit and feel is amazing. My only compliant is I wish the pattern would print on this jacket the same color as the corrugate foundry pants. It washes out a lot more brown/tan.

The jacket fabrication and materials are awesome. I just wish it were a little more fitted.
