- Is the Quest Insulated jacket actually waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a two-layer DryVent membrane with sealed seams and a full front zip, so it sheds rain and snow. It is not a breathable Gore-Tex shell, so expect more warmth buildup on hard climbs.
- How warm is it compared with a down jacket?
- The synthetic fill is warm enough for typical winter days over a sweater. It is less warm for its weight than down, but it keeps insulating when wet, which down does not.
- Can I wear it for skiing?
- It works as a waterproof winter outer for resort skiing and snowshoeing. It lacks a powder skirt and pit zips, so deep powder days and hard uphill efforts favor a dedicated ski shell.
- Does it run true to size?
- Most owners say it fits true to size with room for a midlayer. If you plan to wear a thick fleece underneath, consider sizing up.
- What is in the box?
- The jacket only. No stuff sack or extra liner is included.
- How does it compare with the plain Quest rain jacket?
- The plain Quest is a lighter, packable rain shell with no insulation. This insulated version adds synthetic fill and warmth for winter but is heavier and bulkier.
