Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Hiking, Jogging, Sports
Describe Yourself:
Competitive Athlete
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've used this jacket continuously over the past year and it has held up beautifully. I took it on a 2 week backpacking trip - great lightweight windbreaker - stuffs down to nothing - good vents. I use it for my training runs from late fall-early spring - lots of vents. I've given it a lot of abuse and it cleans up amazingly well. Just don't expect it to be waterproof - it's fairly resistant in a drizzle, but not waterproof.

Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this softshell for snowboarding, and I've been pleased with it overall. The only suggestion I have to anyone thinking about buying this jacket is, you will definitely need to invest in a very high quality middle layer (ie, heavyweight fleece or an insulated softshell) to stay warm because this jacket has no insulation properties whatsoever. That might mean buying a full size larger to accommodate the thick underlayer (wish I had). The tradeoff is, it makes a great active jacket in summer and warm fall days so it is very versatile.
Perfect jacket for skiing and hiking!
