Interesting video for the thought process..

Wish you guys would've just had a Velcro cinch on the back of the hood :/. The plastic ones are uncomfortable if you rest your head against anything. Also will there be more color options in the future?

In terms of warmth, what would the Generator be equivalent to in your down jacket range (roughly)?

[@RabEquipment]

Hi there! For any product related enquiries, please visit support.rab.equipment/hc/en-us . Many thanks!

[@MrFritz]

@@RabEquipment So I guess it's not possible, that you forward this inquiry to the link you're mentioning and then answer to @Ad Inglis directly here? This is an openly accessible demonstration of your product and other people might be wondering the same thing... After all, mentioning an equivalent down jacket for your synthetic jackets would be a really cool feature for your website... I am a fan of rab and own several products, that I really like, but this ist just shitty customer service, doing it the "easy way"...
