Solid
"Just got back from a week on the river in Alaska. This jacket exceeded my expectations and withstood some extreme abuse. It’s light, quiet, warm, and breathable. It’s my go to mid/outer layer for cool weather outdoor activity now."

Q&A
- For those who like to layer into late season- how cold can this jacket go with 2 merino layers and the strong fleece 235 hoodie? I’m hoping to push this jacket into late season in MN. Temps in the teens to 20’s.
- With that layering, the Encounter Jacket should work well while sitting in temps between 28-30. If you're actively moving, it would work well from teens to 20s.
