Synthetic Jacket Reviews

I’ll admit, I’ve got a jacket obsession. I like jackets. And every once in a while, a jacket comes along that I really like. I can say with confidence that the Windstopper Insulated Jacket is one of those. It does almost everything right. Of course, no jacket is perfect, and this one’s not an exception, but it comes darn close.

A bit of an older jacket, The EMS Expedition Sweater has been discontinued, in favor of either the Ascent Belay Jacket or the Heater SYNC Jacket.
It appears, though, that the Expedition Sweater had the best of both worlds: an athletic fit, superb pit zips, and a hood. This jacket is excellent for cold days with a chance of rain or snow, and with the pit zips and removable hood, is also suitable for a wide range of weather conditions.

For being part of TNF’s Summit Series line of clothing and gear, the Redpoint Optimus is relatively inexpensive, at under $200. But that doesn’t mean it skimps on quality or features. An adjustable hood, seamless shoulders, stellar water resistance and the ability to stuff the jacket into its own interior pocket adds up to a solid entry for cold, wet weather wear.
