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.
