“Light, well fitted shell”

“This is the first shell I've owned and I am quite pleased so far. I've been struggling to give up insulated jackets in favor of layers, presuming I'd be cold. I bought this shell, another fleece and an expedition weight base layer and this combination has been great snowboarding in ~20degree weather. It would likely be fine a little colder as well. The fit of the shell is very nice, feminine, and allows for much more movement than an insulated jacket. I got a small for my 5'2", 120lb frame. Fits well; snug around the hips when wearing the heavy snowboarding pants, but it keeps it from riding up. The pockets don't have a great deal of room, but it is a very fitted jacket, so it's a reasonable compromise. The zipper initially stuck, but appears to be fine now. Overall - great jacket at half-price.”
