Please note that our Flume, Bond, Franconia and Washington base/mid/outer layers all are designed to be longer than normal in the torso -- we hate that breeze of cold air across our lower back as much as you do! They are also designed to be worn together, so if you are an 'L' in a Flume, you should be an 'L' in Franconia.

I like the build quality of the franconia. It is a bit more snug than I prefer. I'm 6' 5" and weigh 188 pounds. I got the Large Tall and it is very form fitting. It will make a great winter layer.

Now a Permanent Piece of the Gear List
My wife bought me this for a winter layer, for skiing and snowshoeing, and it’s perfect! Just thick enough as a layer to wear above a base layer, and thin enough to wear under a shell without overheating. I was impressed at how warm this was just wearing this over the base layer while gearing up for an alpine tour, at 10°F, but it was very breathable for both the uphill and the downhill under the shell. The hood and built-in face cover are nicely designed. And it’s very comfortable! Well done Burgeon!

New go to!
The Franconia is my new favorite top layer! Comfortable, warm, breathable, and I love that it’s a little longer at the bottom. The built in face mask and thumb holes on the sleeves are awesome features as well!

Terrific Insulation Layer
Went looking for the right winter hiking insulation layer after getting some guidance from a guide. Love Burgeon gear and this one has performed beyond my expectations.
