This jacket is a maverick with a unique approach. The first time you pull it on, you're immediately struck by how different it feels to others. It has more of a fleece-like texture across the hood and arms. This comes from the use of 125g of PrimaLoft Active, an intricate mesh grid topped with fluffy
polyester tufts - a special type of synthetic insulation that might polarise opinion. Personally I find it wonderfully comfy and soft; others may disagree. As well as PrimaLoft Active, the Rotor Hood features 80g of PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core over the chest and torso. This cutting- edge material fuses PrimaLoft fibres with a highly-porous, ultralight "aerogel" (originally developed by NASA) that's composed of over 95% air and is the lightest solid material known to man. The result is superb warmth-to-weight and good overall breathability for high-intensity activities. You also get an adjustable hood, two handwarmer pockets, and a shower-resistant Point Zero shell. The latter is very light and flimsy, so long-term durability is questionable, while the main zipper has a tendency to catch (on my sample at least).
