Phillip's Review of Rab Double Pile Jacket - Men's

If you live somewhere where it is consistently cold and you lounge around more than you move around get this jacket right now.
This is an epic casual cabin chiller jacket. When you get off the slopes and get home, throw is bad boy on and drink some hot coco and you are about as close to being a bear in hibernation as a human can get.

This jacket has an awesome look, the double pile fleece makes people just want to touch you because you look so warm and cuddly.
The collar on this is one of my absolute favorite things. I don't know why so many outdoor companies get this point wrong, but Rab nailed it with this fleece. The collar has a nice snug fit where it hugs your neck in warm goodness. I find most other fleeces have a loose, wide collar with no way to adjust it. What is the point in a wide collar that provides minimal insulation when not in close contact with your skin? I'll never figure that one out.
The collar sits nice and high getting right to your jaw line and it stops perfectly.

These jacket is not very wind proof, I know they say it has an inner liner that is suppose to be, but make no mistake wind cuts through this pretty easily. Even if it didn't the fact that the liner is on the inside means that the wind would steal all the thermal heat you stored in the nice double pile and sweep it away leaving you with not much warmth. Put a nice softshell/windbreaker over this and you will be absolutely toasty, try to do much more than some brisk walking and you will be baking.

I am 6' 150lbs, longer 19" torso with broad shoulders.
The small actually fit really well in the arms, chest and torso. It had a trim look, well as trim as you can look wearing double pile fleece, it kept the fleece close to my body. Although a little short in length stopping right on my belt line. I did not try the medium, but from having tried other Rab product I'm assuming the fit would become quite baggy especially since the jacket is marketed as a casual wear and is intended to look baggy.

This is a great jacket if you live somewhere cold enough to wear it consistently or you run cold.
I run warm, not hot, and I live in the California Bay area, this jacket would be good for late october through february and then it would be relegated to early morning and late night walks. Anything over 50F and you are starting to bake.

I recommend this product.
