New favorite jacket!
This jacket is amazing! It's light-weight yet still warm. Part fleece, part windbreaker. I've already worn it backpacking and bouldering. I usually wear a BD medium and medium fit great again. Thanks BD, this one is a winner!!
Perfect in between jacket
Needed a jacket lighter than a down but heavier than a windbreaker and this fit the job perfectly. It kept me warm in key places (front and back) but cool under armpit. Perfect alone or as a midlayer.
Love this versatile jacket!
I have wanted this jacket for a while and am happy to have it for chilly fall morning runs and will look forward to wearing it during touring season. Also love the color!
Warm and comfy
Great hoody- fits well. Will be good for cold days and winter as the insulation is warm.
Great Jacket
Warm, thin, looks good. Very happy with this purchase.
