Novus LT Insulated Jacket

I needed to replace a lightweight down jacket for travel. I wanted something synthetic this time, understanding I'd have to take on a little extra weight and bulk. I have a Warm Cube Novus that has thinner panels and hood and hoped this jacket was all that material. I was right! I can't imagine a better replacement for my travel down jacket. Thin, light, but just as warm. Marmot is one of the few brands that still fit my barrel chest and shapes the shoulders well enough so the jacket doesn't ride up with my arms up. Body of the jacket isn't too wide or boxy in proportion to the shoulders. Fabric is nice and soft, but I have just a minor worry that it won't hold up. Fits perfectly over a thin fleece and under a rain shell without getting too bulky or restrictive. Doesn't pack into its own pocket, but I have plenty of pouches and it gets pretty small when stuffed.
