Has anyone here tried this jacket?

I just bought a new one on eBay for 1/2 retail price. It seems rather thin and wonder if it will be warm enough. I'll find out this weekend but would still be interested in hearing other's experience.

I had a Reima Jacket paid a fortune for it...I ice fish alot and I was cold alot...The Reima jacket was good when I was riding and moving but when I stopped for any length of time I got cold fast...Sold the jacket!!!

I have a remia pullover and love it. And my wife has a Remia warrior, she said that it is the warmest jacked she has ever had!

I was told by a salesman that the key to keeping warm with Gortex jackets/bibs is you should wear proper breatheable underwear that wicks away moisture. So, I spent the extra $$ on the underwear and don't get cold. I really didn't get cold before either.

I have the Reima Pullover (basicly just a gore tex shell). With a good moisture wicking undergarmet such as underarmor cold wear and a polar-tech fleece liner (I use my Yamaha FXR Team jacket liner); I stay warm even at -30F.

I don't have that specific Reima but mine is also quite thin however surprisingly it is quite wind proof and keeps me fairly warm. I'll generally wear a sweatshirt under it and if it's real cold a light windbreaker as well. I've ridden on some bitter cold days and the torso has never been the problem it's either the hands or the feet or both

Steve, good lookin' sled in your avitar . You're still holding on to that clear windshield though. Where's the though? Anybody know who this is (looks like a Reima Jacket)? Hint; it's pulled out of the 1st McCall, Idaho ride archives.

the point of most reima and klim jackets os to breathe and block out wind and moisture. if your sitting in a shack you will freeze, they dont have the insulation for it. for sledding, its perfect. i get cold easy and usually wear a t-shirt, fleece pullover, tek vest and then an uninsulated reima race pullover. i stay plenty warm unless its lower single digits or on a really long railroad grade. for those conditions i wear an insulated reima premier jacket.

I am thinking about the Yamaha avalanch by reima, but worry it will be like my cold wave coat. Ya it breaths and is not wind proof at all I mean i can feel the breeze suck the BTU's right out of me.

I may pass, as I want a really warm coat not another "Breathable " coat to freeze in
