Warmth
The Eddie Bauer IgnitLite Hybrid will keep you warm and comfortable during most cold-weather pursuits. The polyester/spandex blend holds the jacket tight to the body and hips, preventing warm air from escaping. This may also be the reason why it doesn’t breathe as well as I hoped.

Fit & Comfort
This jacket excels in comfort and assisting body movement thanks to the 9% spandex component. The cuffs remain under gloves and the form-fitting waist holds it in place under multiple layers. The microfleece around the chin-high collar is a nice touch.

Features
The IgniteLite Hybrid’s hand-warmer pockets are deep, boasting an 8” zipper length. However, a phone, snacks, or headlamp will sag and shift considerably when stored. The chest pocket has a headphone cable port and does a better job securing contents. The packable hood is a micro-thin nylon that is effective under a helmet but doesn’t hold up too well against direct precipitation. 

Quality
The interior zipper guard never caught and stitching between materials is sturdy. The nylon shell with Stormrepel DWR over the Primaloft® core suffered no tears and the polyester/spandex didn’t lose shape. There were a couple of easily fixed zipper separation issues.

Weight
The Eddie Bauer IgniteLite Hybrid weighs 14.2 ounces. It feels invisible under a shell and will shove willingly into daypacks, commuter bags, and even my truck’s console. It’s easy to fit into the lid of a pack, bunching to about the size of pineapple.
