Gear Review
perfect shell
By utx100707243 September 20, 2011
Picked this up on SAC. Everything I need in a shell minus the price. Allegedly the company (Solstice) never made it, but the clothing is still around for now. Snatch it up while you can, its performance is comparable to the big brand names and at a fraction of the cost. If you want the 200 wt. fleece liner to go with, its the Solstice Full Circle Fleece (STL 0035) and it will attach to all the inner hook and loops of this shell. No zip in capabilities though. Im 6' 180lbs, got the large, and has athletic fit.

Right on...I have this jacket (the fleece included) and I REALLY like it. It crushes the quality/feel/look of the MH exposure II Parka (AND for virtually the same price, you get the fleece) On another note, I bought the Hi-fi Hybrid shell for my wife (http://www.departmentofgoods.com/solsti ce-hi-fi-hybrid-3l-shell-womens)and that thing is freakin sweet. High quality stuff, it's too bad they didn't make it. SERIOUSLY, buy this stuff up before it's gone forever...
