    Long sleeves which are hard to find on a jacket. Plenty of shoulder room, without being bulky. Plenty of pockets,with inner pockets to secure items.
    Hood closure doesn't tighten in such a way to prevent wind from blowing off.

      I was in need of a warm and light jacket for everyday use. Santa brought me this very nice jacket and I am very happy with it. I wear it every morning to go to work. No complaints at all: it keeps me warm, it is waterproof and windproof. The front pockets lining are very soft and the hood do its job: keeps my head and ears warm without blocking my sight. That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Santa!!

      Comments about REI Salix Jacket - Women's:

      I live in an area that has pretty wet, cold winters. I bought this jacket primarily for around town purposes on wet-weather days, and it's fantastic. I've taken it hiking and it's breathable while keeping me at a "just right" temperature. I can definitely see using this for resort skiing, but it's too heavy to take in the back-country. It's a great jacket, and I've been recommending it to anyone who will listen ;-)

            I wear this jacket going to work or shopping on the colder winter days. It provides great protection from penetrating cold wind and damp weather conditions. It is a nice light weight and close fitting. Especially like the longer tail. It is close fitting but very flexible. The next size up was too large. I like the green color that I purchased.

                I like this jacket for wearing around town in colder weather. It has a nice slim fit with a longer tail and the hood is great for rainy days. I have the green and really like the color. My biggest complaint is that the fit across the chest/under the arms is tight for the size (M). You can't wear any bulk under it. The next size up was like a tent. This jacket would be OK for skiing/snowboarding on groomers, but I wouldn't recommend it for powder. A removable powder skirt and mesh under the pit zips would have been nice features.
