Color:
LOW ACTIVITY RATING 45°F.
MODERATE ACTIVITY RATING -5°F.
Go lean and green. Windproof Pertex® ripstop shell and lining are made with recycled polyester. PrimaLoft® Gold Eco insulation is 55% recycled, and highly compressible, so jacket packs down into interior chest pocket for easy transport. Reversible design lets you choose from two contrasting colors, one quilted, one smooth-finished. The smooth "action side" has a single chest pocket but no hand pockets because these would be inaccessible when wearing a pack with hip belt. Reducing the pockets on this side also helps keep overall weight to a minimum and ensures exceptional, low-bulk packability.
"Reversibility is super cool. I'm always traveling and like the option of light and dark. From testing in Rocky Mountain National Park and Alaska, I'm giving it 4+ stars."
Kent McBride, Eddie Bauer Skiing Guide

Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's IgniteLite Reversible Jacket:
I took this jacket on a two month traveling trip where I was going from Australia (a cooler climate in their winter) to Southeast Asia (very hot). I didn't want to bring a heavy jacket because it wasn't going to be too cold, and I needed something that could be packed away easily because I was traveling with just a backpack.
This was the perfect solution - was a great light layer that offered some protection from the rain, stopped the wind, and wasn't too hot. The jacket isn't rainproof, so it could stay a little damp, but it did the job. And when I continued into Asia it rolled up and packed very tight so I could fit in my bag no problem. It also makes a good travel pillow if you ball it up for flights or uncomfortable train/bus rides. I would highly recommend this!
Also, I'm a bigger guy (6'2 220) and originally got the XL, but it was too baggy and didn't fit tight on my body. The large was the best choice. I didn't choose the one with the hood because there weren't any in the store, but there were times when I could have used it. That's a personal choice but it wasn't too big of a deal.
Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's IgniteLite Reversible Jacket:
Design flaw: Needs insulation along main zipper (so not 5 stars.) Also, I'd recommend 80g (instead of 60g) Primaloft at trunk for warmth. On my stitched side, white, Primaloft fuzz is peeking out.
Beautiful, ultra lightweight drawstring at hem.
Overall, it's a roomy, high-quality construcation & materials, lightweight, smart-looking jacket.
Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's IgniteLite Reversible Jacket:
Got this in the bright orange for my husband. It has a nice feel -- lightweight but cozy...and it looks great. Should be a good ski layer under a shell. Large fit well on his 6' slender frame.
Comments about First Ascent|Men|Jackets & Vests Men's IgniteLite Reversible Jacket:
I'm really liking this jacket so far. The colors (orange and rust) look very nice and it's very stylish. The weather has been too hot to see how warm it is, thus four stars instead of five at this point.
