this appears to have the insulation exposed on the inner of the jacket - not lined or covered over with pertex/nylon etc.
Is this the case?

Yes - Polartec Alpha Direct is exposed. They say it's one less barrier to breathability. I noticed some shedding at first, but it seems to have stabilized.
Also, OR was thoughtful enough to put some of the Microlight on the inside of the shoulder/upper arm area of the Ascendant so the sleeves slip on more easily. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing they continued that design with this jacket.

SawatchFactoryThanks Dave. I might give this one a miss, I'd prefer an inner lining. It looks like this jacket is active wear warmth not for stationary insulation . This jacket looks like a very warm version of a marmot driclime windshirt - no bad thing.
