Bought this jacket as a warmer alternative to the prior years "Turbo Down" and not nearly as happy with this product. It might be warmer, with the gold reflective lining, but it's not nearly as breathable, and I find my back more sweaty than not in anything above 30°. The hood is by far the worst hood design I've had on any jacket, bar none. It's impossible to just throw on without cinching it tight, because it hangs completely over your eyes blinding you to anything but your feet and a small portion of the ground. In a light on and off drizzle, you absolutely cannot just pull it on and off without looking like you're in a major snow storm. And forget it if you're caught in a light breeze from behind, the hood flies up against the back of your head, flaps along the side etc etc and needs to be tucked hunchback style inside the jacket; though as a bonus I found this kept me cooler because it blocked the reflective heat I mentioned before. And finally, the elastic around the wrists feels scratchy and not super comfortable, I've never had anything feel this weird. Anyway, not super happy overall and really hate the hood... wouldn't buy this again.
