So far so good.

Marmot Outland Fleece Jacket
Polyester / Elastine
Mountain Hardwear Phantom Down Hooded Jacket
Super warm down jacket.
Update: This thing is crazy hot. I put it on to go for a walk in 50F weather and within five minutes I was sweating. There is absolutely no reason to wear this above 40F, maybe even 30F.
In retrospect, I would have been better off with the lighter version of this to wear over my Nano-Air, but oh well. Now I just have to swap them as I get warmer or colder.
Outdoor Research Bolin Jacket
Fabric:
- AscentShell™ 3L
- 100% nylon 20D ripstop with 100% polyester backer Upper: AscentShell™ 3L
- 100% nylon 70D plain weave with 100% polyester backer
So this jacket is sized rather strangely. It’s arm length is good, but it’s even tighter than the Nano-Air around the gut. It’s an XL, but every other XL I own is far larger. If this wasn’t 75% off, I would return it. I’ll just see if I can lose a few pounds to fit in it better.
Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero mittens
Picked up some Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero mittens.
Slept with these on my hands when I slept in the bed of the truck in Tahoe. Hands warmed up in about 3 minutes. Glad I had them, but haven’t had a chance to use them throughout the day.
