This, an OR Celestial jacket, smartwool mid pullover, and balaclava kept me tolerably warm down to 10* in the canyons of Utah. Packs well, feels great against your skin, and it doesn't seem to have lost too much loft after 90 odd days in the field, often times I thought it would tear and it is still going strong, maybe one or two teeenie holes have been made, and I feel pretty confident in a small drizzle not worrying about the jacket. I had .25L leak into this thing on the bottom right side from a cracked water bottle, and I was able to dry it off overnight comfortably warm in a sleeping bag. I have the Climashield version, and part of me wishes it would compress better, but I think its awesome having "green" insulation. Part of me would love to get a hooded jacket next, but I'll probably get a down jacket instead because of how small my pack will be.
