Great Jacket!!!!
I work SAR here in Las Vegas, so I'm a big believer in dressing in layers. I need to be comfortable, manuverable and warm, this jacket is perfect for that. Im 6'2" 245 lbs, XL fits great, I put it on over a baselayer, then place a windbreaker over it. There is elastic on the sleeves that holds them in place right above your wrist (doesn't interfere with gloves), and a bungee strap at the base of the jacket (adjustment at the waist), holding in all the heat. My only complaint is that the outer material is a little flimsy, might tear on a branch or something, so wear something durable on top of it. I bought the hooded version, it also has a bungee strap, keeping the heat in and the cold wind out. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing a lightweight, warm and compressable jacket.

Lightweight and warm
I recently purchased this jacket from Altrec. I was having difficulty choosing between the Patagonia Nano Hoody and this jacket. I spoke with the rep asking input and he was very helpful. He thought this jacket would be slightly warmer with a more trim/athletic fit. After more research he also thought this jacket had longer sleeves vs the Nano which was a major concern. With Altrec's lifetime return policy you can't go wrong therefore I decided to give the Compressor a try. I am highly impressed with the jacket. Very warm for such a lightweight jacket. The jacket does have an athletic fit and sleeves are long enough as is torso....just what I needed. Warmth without bulk, craftmanship is excellent. I highly recommend this jacket.
