“Great jacket”

“I needed something for winter active wear here in MT, for hiking, running, snowshoeing, skiing etc. I have hard shells, fleece, down etc, but wanted something lightwt that keeps the core warm yet is breathable. This is perfect. The softshell sleeves and shoulders allow flexibility, and they breathe. The insulated core (chest/back) keep me warm enough. The pit zips sold me...they are a must in high activity use. Quality is impeccable, though some may scoff at the left hand zipper; I got used to it quickly. The two way zipper is great...being able to zip ip from bottom to access gear, or to cool. I have worn this in 10f weather with a capilene base layer and midweight fleece, and was toasty. (I wear it as a mid layer under my down sweater if below zero). When I stop to rest, I'll throw my down sweater over it. Up to the mid 40s temp, I can wear a just light fleece or zip crewneck, and not be too hot. Nearly windproof, sheds light rain, the hood is great in the wind. LOVE IT!”
