It's funny, the base chats are full of shameless people trying to unload their Karbon jackets that they just bought a few months ago when they were "Spirit for lyfe". The problem is the company is not going to reimburse you if you bought it secondhand.

It is funny. The jacket is a decent cold weather jacket. Remove the Velcro wings and spend $15 and have a tailor remove the shoulder flaps, solid cold weather jacket to use outside of work.

I finally made the switch to the Karbon and I like it in most ways over the leather, except it’s not warm enough in it’s own below 40F or so. Yea it has the optional puffer jacket but I’d prefer to just have a uniform sweater.

Definitley depends on the individual. It’s probably not going to suffice if you’re one of the close off all the vents crew members. On the other hand, it’s more than sufficient if you’ve finally quit sweating when your partner is borderline hyperthermia.
