this thread I just bought a neoshell jacket from
Foxwear. This stuff is amazing - very windproof and more breathable than the stratos. I've been using it in the 15-25F range and it's perfect. It's supposed to be good into the 50's - I'm ready to find out soon! Call Lou at Fox at Foxwear
I've worn my stratos down to -5 and it was great, and wear it all the time in single digits up to the mid 50's. I use it as an outer shell, so my warmth comes from whatever layers I find appropriate for the temp.
I've heard nothing but good reports about the foxwear - I'll check them out when the stratos wears out.
