We made this purchase as we're planning to downsize and take up an overlanding lifestyle, so space will be limited. We were looking to get rid of his bulky sweaters and puffer jackets he used to love. Now, with the Ember and a small lightweight packable jacket, he's ready for almost anything we should face. Thanks Sierra Madre, we'll be back!

I’ve had this jacket less then a week and I’m already in love I have never had a jacket like this where no matter what the weather is this jacket keeps me warm but not hot.

I took it to play disc golf and had no restriction in movement and kept at a warm body temperature all game without overheating.

It’s an expensive jacket but if you’re on the fence about it you will not regret pulling the trigger, the jacket is spectacular.

So far I have only warn the jacket in mild winter conditions (i.e., 32-40 degrees). Perfect, haven't even turned on the heater yet. Now just wait, next week I will be doing a week long photography workshop in Yosemite valley, which is why I purchased the jacket in the first place. I played with the heater tonight - Freaking amazing. I can't wait to give you a real review by the 16th or 17th of February. Please send me a reminder then.
Cheers,

PS: Okay cool, I see that a pic and or a video will be more impactful.

I wanted to get to know the jacket before reviewing. When trying on outside my house (it was cold out, 35F) I felt the air go through the jacket. At first I thought, hmm, maybe it's designed for requiring heat. Then I took on the trail, it doesn't take more than a quarter mile before you heat up and need that venting to cool off. My first time out, I tried heat on low and was baking. I turned off. As I've been going out in the 30s, I've been waiting for the opportunity to utilize the heat. The jacket is comfortable and I was able to move around easily. The pockets work for me (I like zipper closing). I didn't know it had the hidden gloves when I purchased but that's kinda cool. It took me a little bit to understand that there are two settings of heat, blue low, red high that display on the right side button. I think I found details on a YouTube by this company. Didn't take more than 15 min to figure out first time though. Again, I'm looking to put the heat to the test but it's going to need to get lower than 30F for me to test that. Enjoying this jacket 😊
