is the reviews of the products we all lust over. the reviews are often great, totally aplicable and answer a lot of the questions you need to know. as a backcountry.com athlete it's my job to contribute. i just posted this review on the mountain hardwear phantom down jacket (click link and check out the other reviews).
Lightest and Warmest 
i chose the mountain hardwear phantom over the mountain hardwear sub zero for two reasons:
1. it's warmer with 800 fill vs. 650 for the sub zero.
2. it's lighter at 15oz (440g) vs. the sub zero 1lb 11oz (765g).
i am 5'10 with 31 inch waist and i even went a step further and went for a size small. it's perfect, but any smaller and it would be too small. it's light and super warm. i like the shortness of it in case i need to wear a harness however some might feel it's too short. it packs down into a nice little package for packing on the skin up. AND the fleece lined pockets are a very nice supprise luxury for a superlight jacket.

Rumor has it you wear the size small puffy to enhance the size of your biceps. Shouldn't it work better by getting a size bigger:)
yeah i'm searching backcountry.com right now for a sweet baby t. i spent years trying to get bigger biceps... and the last 7 trying to get the to shrink.
I just got my Phantom a few days ago. I love the thing - it rocks! And since my biceps are bigger than yours, I got a Medium.
sweet meissner! make sure you post a review on backcountry.com once you form an opinion.
