Chest Size:
Feels too small
Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof, Wind Resistant
Comments: I'm sure this is a great jacket for many women. It was just a bit too form fitiing for my body. The front pockets will not work for hand-warming. I have returned the jacket. Too bad!

Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof, Well made, Wind Resistant
Describe Yourself:

Gear Usage:
frequent backpacking
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The is a great jacket- how often do you see gore-tex pac-lite at a price like this? And, Lowe Alpine makes solid gear. I have multiple pieces from them and have never been disappointed. My only question is... what are the zipper openings on the sleeve for? If they are for ventilation, why not make them bigger like the forearm vents used by Sierra Designs or give the jacket pit-zips. This is confusing to me... maybe will be to you too. But the jacket breathes very well, so it doesn't concern me too much.

Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof, Wind Resistant
Cons:
Sleeve cuff adjustment
Describe Yourself:
Advanced
Gear Usage:
Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: great shell, very light weight, simple design. Has 2 good sized chest pockets which make it great for wearing with a harness or backpack, but on the flip side isnt great for just wearing around town as there is no where to put your hands. The sleeve cuffs have two patches of velcro which limits the cuff size (you get really big or really small) Nice moldable rim on the hood which is cool, will hold the shape you mold it into (wire inside). Great fit and good design for technical applications. Overall very pleased with this shell.
Awesome Jacket!!!! Perfect Shell!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket has been perfect! I needed a really lightweight shell without to many accessories that would keep the rain and wind out, but also breathe like crazy when I hike/climb. I used this for a climb of Mt. Adams on the glacier with crazy winds at the top. The jacket breathed great on the way up when I was working hard, and blocked the wind so well at the top when I was just standing around that I still didn't need my extra insulation under the jacket. Super lightweight too!
