Needs pockets

Love the jacket for its weight and general performance. It isn't warm if you're not being active. Pared with a warm layer it works well. Glad I have it and if Tayson and Bryson add pockets I'll buy another one.

Almost there (editted)

The Nebo is 80% of the way there, it definitely needs pit zips to really be breathable and more usable. I'm in the process of adding them myself (which is a bit of a pain, but worth it). The 2 zippers will add 0.4 ozs. or 11 grams. Well worth t in my opinion.
Other than that I've been happy with it.
