“The First Ascent Frontpoint Jacket is a great all mountain jacket that combines soft and hard shell technology to provide an excellent barrier that can handle the harsh winter elements. The jacket has a nice feminine streamlined fit while also accommodating extra layers, such as a First Ascent Downlight® Sweater. We felt that the Frontpoint Jacket, despite weighting a mere 15.2 oz, can serve as an excellent outer shell for winter pursuits or a great spring/fall companion for high intensity activities in questionable weather. Overall, another nice piece from Eddie Bauer’s First Ascent line!”

“The BC-100 jacket is simple, lightweight and, at $129, the least expensive jacket in their men’s outerwear lineup. Despite looking like the designer chose the color immediately after seeing a performance of Blue Man Group, the build of the jacket is subtle and tight. Seams, zippers, Velcro — all are pro-grade — without being the least bit flashy. The small touches, such as the angle of the cuff-closure tabs and placement of the pockets, were clearly thought out by someone who knows what it’s like to actually wear one of these things in real life.”
