How warm is the Joy Peak II compared with a down jacket?

It is warm for everyday winter wear, but a heavy down parka traps more heat in deep cold. The reflective lining and synthetic insulation work best in moderate cold and when you are active.

No. Omni-Shield repels light rain and snow, but seams are not sealed and it is not a waterproof shell. Wear a rain shell over it in steady rain.

Does it run true to size?

Buyers say it fits true to size. It is cut to layer over a sweater, so those between sizes may prefer the larger one.

What is Omni-Heat Infinity?

It is a reflective lining with a gold-dot pattern that reflects body heat back toward you. It adds warmth without extra insulation bulk.

Is the insulation recycled?

Yes. The Thermarator insulation is recycled polyester, and the shell contains at least 20 percent recycled content.

Does it have pockets?

It has two zippered side hand pockets. The hood and collar are fleece-lined for warmth.
