2008 Merrell Rove Tech Sweater | Last Updated: 05/07/08
Gear Reviews>>Jackets>>Mid Weight>>Merrell Rove Tech SweaterPRODUCT SUMMARY
By lowPro
THE GOOD
1) Lightweight
2) Compressible
3) Good warmth/weight ratio
4) Can be used alone or with a lightweight shell for maximum versatility
5) The internal ribbed cuffs are awesome!
THE BAD
1) The zippers catch on the lightweight ripstop nylon.
2) There are no zipper vents to stay cool while hiking
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is a great lightweight jacket for backcountry skiing or any active outdoor use. It breathes well, yet resists water easily. It also packs up small when needed, and unpacks to provide fast and deep warmth.
The Primaloft Insulation and 100% polyester are quality materials that assure you of the jackets comfort and provide you with all-weather performance. Warmth to Weight Ratio is as good as goose down, but works even when wet and dries quickly. Last but not least, the internal cuffs speak to how well designed and thought out this jacket is.

| MITTEN TEST | 2/5, Zippers are a little small when wearing mittens, but worked well with gloves. |
| TESTING LOCATION | Taos Backcountry, New Mexico |
