Very well constructed and warm. Honestly do not know why this Alpha Direct is not more popular with hikers. My medium is 8 oz.
This is my third Alpha D upper layer/vest. I have also have 60 and 90 weight from other manufacturers. I particularly like this one because of the full length front zip. In my application I mix and match the three weights to get the level of insulation that I need. For sleeping in my tent I wear two (instead of a down upper bag). For hiking a wear one at the appropriate weight with or without a rain/wind shell. I am very weight sensitive, this 120 D is 9 oz, my other the 90 D is 7 oz and the 60 D is 4.5 oz. So, I chose what to take to minimize total pack weight. I find Alpha D much better than the heavier down because it sheds excess heat while still retaining enough heat when you need it.

Well constructed with attention paid to design details that give the hoody a great fit. I am 6’/190 with average build and the large fit perfectly. Thanks for a great product!!
