Listen to an "old guy" - Marmot Isotherm Hoody - Mens

I have to admit that I'm surprised! This jacket does what it's advertised to do...at least for me. Let me describe myself: 64 year old male, 150 lbs. Pretty good shape: I walk 2.6 miles every day in my neighborhood in about 45 minutes, with a heart rate around 120 - 130. It's been cold where I live, below 0 one morning this week, and windy! Today we had a heat wave, up to 25 by the time I took off for my walk. I started out with an Icebreaker T-shirt (200 weight), and a zip-up Icebreaker (260 weight), the Isotherm, and then a Nano Puff Hoody to cut the wind. Guess what? Half-way through, I had to take off the Nano Puff! I was starting to sweat. So, for the last 20 minutes, my "shell" was the Isotherm. It worked! I vented a little heat, but never got uncomfortable. I could feel a little of the wind, but not much, and while I was wearing one-layer less, I didn't get cold. Also, I didn't overheat. Pretty good results, given the conditions.
