They look sick, but how's their performance? I know they had some performance issues their first year, but apparently they've improved. I'm considering buying one right now, or waiting until this time next year if that means a better performing jacket. Thoughts? +K for help

of course next years will be better because they will always keep improving but i liked my bloom jacket and i have had no problems with the gear but they do have great customer service so if anything does go wrong with the gear Jim will take care of you

They are super sick. Not only lookwise but also qualitywise. 20K/20K and really lightweight. Its really breathable and ive never gotten wet in it. Even in heavy rain. I have the Onward Jacket 2Black in XL and it fits perfect. Its long and slim fit and the quality really is on point. Plus Bloom is probably the most legit company out there. I mean i got a handwritten note from Jim in which he thanked me for my support and the love from Europe. Haha.
129 $ for a Jacket with this sick quality from an awesome company is a fucking steal. Go for it!
If you have any other questions PM me or feel free to ask.

Dont even hesitate to buy bloom, I have their first year jacket, and havent noticed any performance issues. Quality is on point. Only complaint would be the fit is a little weird around the shoulders if your not massively broad shouldered. they fixed that with this years jacket anyways though..

Waterproofing and breath-ability are on point. I have only had two days on my suit and I could tell the first time I got back down to the base and was all hot and sweaty I cooled down really fast (I was overlayered). And i stayed at a perfect temperature on a long steep hike too
