Do you have it? Tried it? Love it or hate it? Does it work?

I have a hat with it and now a casual jacket with it. I found that the hat is definitely warmer, but bulkier than other hats I have. The jacket is this one that I got at the outlet for casual wear: http://www.columbia.com/Men’s-Thermarator™-II-Jacket/WM6348,default,pd.html
I say casual wear because it, too, is a bit bulky for hiking and outdoors stuff. I love it though. It too is warmer.
I think that the major benefit is that it won't matt down like fleece after time and, assuming that the Omni Heat layer does not delaminate or fall apart, I think it would insulate longer than a regular fleece jacket.
Interested to hear what other folks think.
