This is by far the best piece of gear I had on the trail; thank you dad! Though I would never hike with it on, it kept me super warm when I would get into camp on those cold days in North Carolina. It’s so light that I kept it with me through Harper’s Ferry just in case, and a good thing too because I slept with it on on several occasions for the extra warmth. It’s also good to wear when you’re doing laundry. A word of caution, though, it is an INNER jacket, so while it is slightly water resistant, the material is very thin and can easily snag on branches / sharp objects, but as long as you’re careful this should never be a problem.
