Warm, high quality, a couple weird features - Rab Electron Jacket - Men's

This jacket has very high-quality, water-resistant down, and is very warm for its weight. It works well as a belay jacket in medium-cold temperatures, and also has a roomy fit to enable layering beneath it. It's surprisingly capable as an outer layer, with both the outer material and the water-resistant down increasing its performance in rough weather.

The helmet-compatible hood is pretty good with a helmet on, but isn't ideal if you aren't planning to wear one. The adjustment points on the hood just don't let you cinch it down enough to work well without a helmet, and the velcro tightening system isn't very refined.

The cuffs are very comfortable and work surprisingly well with either over- or under-cuff gloves.

The material is pretty loud, like a lot of down jackets. The clever baffle design maximizes heat retention, and does a great job for the weight of the jacket.

The stuff sack is probably my least favorite feature - partly because it's just bigger than it needs to be (it ends up being about the size of a high-quality shoulder-season sleeping bag), and because it has an uncomfortable large toggle on it that makes it less than ideal to pack into the inner chest pocket. I think a significantly smaller stuff sack (or ideally an inverted pocket) would have been better.
