Bought this jacket as an overlayer, couldn't be happier. It's basically windproof and goes super well over a down jacket as a protective layer when climbing or just general outdoor activities. I wear it everyday to and from the ski hill, and was awesome as a backcountry outerlayer. Minimal waterproofing but withstood lightsnow and the breathability left me warm without overly sweating. Would recommend as a staple in the wardrobe!
Comfortable, great materials.
I really didn’t need another puffy but I am so glad I decided to get this one. It is like no other. This jacket is lightweight and compact. It contours the body, keeping the lower back warm while allowing total freedom of movement. It thermoregulates well. I stayed comfortable even in warmer weather. This puffy will always go with me from no on. Either as a mid layer ice climbing or an outer layer on fall rock climbs. Fits true to size, I usually wear XS or S. I bought this jacket in XS and it fits just right.
Bought this a couple months ago and I love it; super lightweight, blocks the wind, breathes as well as you’d expect, nicely snug hood, abrasion resistant fabric, good length of sleeve, etc. My only complaint is the elastic “under flap” that extends from the hip bones around the back. It serves its function (to keep the wind out), but because the elastic is sewn in - not via drawstring - it is always engaged and makes the front drape in a weird way. The end result makes my stomach look like 15 pounds heavier than it is because it kind of… sags. Not the end of the world, and I still wear it most days, but I’ll admit that if I had any extra weight the cut could/would be quite unflattering. I would much prefer it to be adjustable so I can disengage it when I don’t need wind protection and have it fall much more flat and sleek.
This jacket is a wonderful mid weight jacket. It’s served me well on many mild winter days. It has already been on a trip to Joshua Tree NP and was a great lightweight travel jacket. It looks nice around town with jeans and fits right in around a campfire. I highly recommend this jacket. I’m 5’9” and 150lbs a medium fits perfect. I was worried the sleeves would be too short based on the models photos but they are the perfect length.
I bought this as a midlayer to wear under my ski shell for alpine pursuits. This hoody is awesome. It has a athletic cut with plenty of length through the arms and body. I’m’ 5’9” , 127lbs and ordered a medium. The fit is perfect with room for some baselayer options underneath. The fabric has nice give for freedom of movement.
I live in the mountains, where the in-between seasons are real and I realized I only had thick winter jackets and thin summer things, with nothing to wear during spring. This jacket is perfect for spring or fall weather and is also thin enough to climb, hike, or bike in. Love it!
This jacket feels like a comfortable sweatshirt but includes warmth and coziness. Perfect on its own or under a shell on colder days!
Not much more to say. I scored big on her birthday gift! Fits great, looks great and most importantly, performs great.
fit, warmth for weight and packability. Love it, great for travel and shoulder season activities.
