IgniteLite Stretch Reversible Hooded Jacket

I bought this jacket for hiking in the mountains. No matter what season it is, the weather up in the mountains can change drastically, unexpectedly, and very fast. So I always carry an additional "warm layer" in my backpack for those situations and this jacket is perfect for that. It's a very warm jacket that's as light as a down jacket, but because it has a synthetic insulation, it will still keep you warm even if it gets wet. And the hood is a very nice bonus as well. This jacket won't compress / fit into it's own pocket like a down jacket will, but it will still compress down into a small package nonetheless. I compress mine down into either a quart-sized Zip Loc freezer bag or into a small nylon stuff sack before I put it in my backpack. The "athletic fit" of this jacket results in a more snug fit than what you get in a traditional fit...so I recommend you order a size up if you want a more traditional / roomy fit. This is the best jacket I have found for what I use it for. It has kept me nice & warm on many different hikes and mountain tops. One final note....I especially like the two bright color options that are offered (Rescue Orange and Storm with the bright yellow interior). God forbid, if anything unexpected ever did happen out on the trail that I needed assistance or rescue, I want the first responders to be able to see / find me very easily.

I finally took the leap on this jacket after months of searching for a good winter jacket. It was a great decision. It's warm and toasty with not a lot of bulk. It looks clean and stylish and I love the option to reverse it for a different color. I would recommend this product. It's great for cold to very cold conditions without overheating.
