By Pando from Bay Area, CA on 05/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Love the fact that I can bunch this XL pullover into the size of my fist and fit it into my pocket or in a tiny nook and cranny. Being a big guy, it can be a hassle packing light for trips given that all my clothes have to be XL so it's very nice that this pullover is space-efficient. It's very smoothly tailored and well put. I love it!

Mtn Hdwr - WindSHIRT not Wind Jacket By Portland Vagabond from Portland, OR on 01/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I normally wear a size Large. This windshirt is cut very trim. If you expect to wear anything under it (fleece, capilene liner, etc) plan on ordering the next size up. I originally ordered a Large and returned it for an XL. The XL is perfect. Realize that this is a windshirt. Not a rainshell. It has one pocket for use as a small stash pocket or a zip-into storage pocket for the shell itself. Excellent for the service intended - but certainly not a bomb-proof shell.
Just what I wanted, but check size By Bill from Herrin, IL on 01/20/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I needed a larger size. It ran smaller than I expected; ordered a large, but closer to med. Gave it to my wife who loves it.
By Opus from Temperance, Michigan on 01/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Man oh man is this thing a tight squeeze to get into!! I'm 5'6" and 155 and it was all I could do to get my arms and torso into it. You have to contort to get it either on or off, but once it is on it does its job beautifully. It is very light, quite breathable and motion is good, once you get it on.
By Merino Lover (Baa Baa) from Sonoma County on 11/08/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this product after searching a long time for a "windshirt". NOT waterproof, NOT windproof, it breaths, and this one is unique as it also stretches.
I use this as a outer layer in the SF Bay Area for mostly road cycling. The cut is not perfect for riding, but it gives me adequate lower back coverage and enough ventilation for most fall riding. Incorporated with a light wool under garmet it keeps the wind from slicing through in rainy conditions. Wool is warm when wet - particularly with a light shell over it.
Quality is very good as you'd expect with Mountain Hardware. The only thing it might be lacking is a proper shirt type collar.
