The new North Range puffy jacket just showed up and it has the fixings to be a great insulating layer. I have been wearing the original Uncompahgre for years and this coat fits and feel similar, however, I can instantly tell its way warmer.

It has been in the 80's for weeks now with no end in sight, so I wont get this coat out in the field anytime soon, but I was able to wear it for a little bit this last weekend in the mountains. I ran an ultra marathon and when I got to the race (up in the cascade mountains) it was 48 degrees. I threw this jacket on while I waited in line to check in and I was PLENTY warm by the time I got my bib. I have no doubt this coat will keep warm this hunting season.
Stay tuned for my thoughts and a final review later this year,
