OR Fraction Jacket?

Thought I'd also post this here.

 

I was wondering if anyone here any experience this jacket?

 

I'm looking at it to replace my Micropuff pullover for spring to fall alpine, and really like the weight/features.

 

I'm wondering about how warm it is though, has anyone here used it?

I'm looking for a synthetic hoody that weighs less then 20oz, and inexpensive is good!

It is hands down my favorite jacket ever now. I use it pretty extensively ice climbing, alpine climbing and skiing since maybe october. I am very impressed with the warmth for the weight (i think the hood is a big factor here). I used it in february on colchuck with only a light softshell and silkweight shirt, and stayed warm enough for a day trip. I also used it in Cody with temps in the teens, and again stayed warm enough. For shorter ice cragging routes, I still take a heavier Feathered friends volant jacket, but the fraction is basically my go to jacket for everything else.

Great! just bought one, I'm excited on paper it looks pretty good.
