Go Lite Men's Cady 2477 Synthetic Insulated Jacket

Very Warm and Versatile jacket
First let me say that I haven't been happy with a jacket I have bought in many years. Nothing has impressed me, not that I buy a lot of jackets. The GoLite Cady on the other hand has been wonderful over the last 2 months that I have owned it. I wear it almost every day to work and I have worn it under shells while snowboarding. This thing is very warm, despite also being very thin. With a T-shirt and sweater on, it kept me reasonably warm on 1/2 mile walks to lunch in near zero temps. It also kept me warm on the hill under a shell in zero temps and 15mph winds. My favorite thing: The pockets! They are lined in a heavy fleece and my hands immediately warm up when I put them in there. My least favorite thing: The two-way zipper. I have never been a fan of these things and have yet to find a good use for one. This is better than others and only causes me trouble when removing the jacket. You have to make sure the bottom part of the zipper is pulled down securely and then the top will go down and you can remove it. It seems that the bottom part of the zipper will move up by about 1/8" in use. The pit-zips are a nice addition to a jacket like this. Even if you get a little warm in it, it is easy to quickly dump some heat. This is definitely my "go to" jacket now and I use it all the time. I think everyone around me is tired of me telling them how great it is. So now, I am telling you. The internal chest pocket is a little small, but big enough to hold most cell phones. My iPhone fits snugly in there, but is a little tight with a headphone cord attached.
