This is not only one of the warmest, but also one of the cleverest,<br />
pieces of gear in the range. With 850 down fill, this jacket is warm,<br />
and you can see that when looking at it. However, Berghaus have<br />
tried really hard to make this more water repellent and with a little<br />
bit of success: it does bead well, but as with any down jacket, you<br />
need to be cautious of this. This is early technology. Perhaps<br />
something to focus on is where they have filled the down. They<br />
have focused on the shape of the human body when it is active, and<br />
even which parts of your body need more insulation, so with good<br />
arm movement and focused insulation, this jacket is actually wellsuited<br />
for some serious mountaineering.
