Pika,

I own an REI Polartec 200 weight jacket. It's got a lot of nice features and I'd say it's "OK" but not real warm, except under a shell. Bought it before 300 weight Polartec came out.
Wanna buy it? $25. (plus shipping) and it's yours, pit zips, shoulder reinforcements & all. Dark green W/ black fabric trim.

My EMS Polartec 300 weight jacket is WARM, esp. when worn under my GTX mountain parka. It has as many features as the REI jacket. It's my fav insulating layer when alpine ski resorts get very cold.

Eric
