Reviewed by MI Mom from East Lansing, MI on Wednesday, February 06, 2013This jacket looks great on and feels nice and fits well. I've gotten several compliments while wearing it. What's not to love? It is pretty clingy. The sleeves are long (with finger holes, though, so they can keep your hands warm).

Reviewed by UPJen from UP of Michigan on Monday, February 04, 2013I love this jacket. I used the jacket while on a run and while snowshoeing this weekend. It was 8 degrees and a windchill of -10. It is so warm yet lightweight it's easy to move while wearing (with a longsleeve t-shirt underneath only). The other things I love about it are, the hood is a bit larger than normal for a hat underneath and the thumb holes.

Reviewed by KatyD07 from Milwaukee, WI on Monday, January 21, 2013This jacket has a flattering, snug fit. The hem does flare out a bit, but it is not bad. It is not bulky so it fits well underneath a coat. This would probably make a nice cold weather running jacket. There are lots of pockets, which is missing on a lot of running jackets. I am 5'5, 112 lbs and the small fits great with room to layer.

Reviewed by Sierra Snow Lover from Eastern Sierra, CA on Sunday, January 20, 2013I typically snowboard in a long sleeve capilene shirt and a bomber (but well vented) Patagonia jacket. We just had a cold snap (temps near 0 degrees F) and I doubled up on my capilene layer and wore this jacket under my other jacket. That made me snug as a bug. The hood fit under my helmet perfectly (bonus I was not expecting). I prefer the hood under my helmet as it provides more freedom of movement than my hood that goes over the helmet. I like the idea of the thumb holes to keep the sleeves down when putting another layer over, but after wearing it for awhile, I noticed the material bunches up between the thumb and forefinger and becomes slightly uncomfortable. This can be easily fixed by just taking your thumbs out. I rated the jacket a 4 because it runs a little big in size. I ordered a large and I'm on the fence about sending it back for a medium. The material has quite a bit of give, so the combination of being slightly large and stretchy...well I would have ordered a medium if I would've known. Overall I really like this coat, it has the perfect amount of pockets and I imagine it will be a great spring ski jacket too. I also got rave complements on it when I was in the lodge. It was so cold I think everyone was checking out what others were wearing that day....

Reviewed by Happy Camper from Fort Collins, CO on Wednesday, October 17, 2012I have worn this jacket every day since I got it. It is perfect for fall and the transition from cooler mornings to warm afternoons and back to cool evenings. The thumb holes and long sleeves are great for keeping warm on a hike or bike ride and the pockets can hold a cell phone or keys without feeling weighed down. It provides a lot of warmth without bulk. I simply love it!

Reviewed by dragonlady from marquette,mi on Monday, March 19, 2012perfect for changing weather conditions,layers well under rain gear, breathes &and is cut to move in.The hood zips to protect your face, and is cut just right as in not to snug or baggy around the neck. The purple-pink color is a refreshing spring look.I will always watch for Mountain Hardwear gear on sale- great fit and performance.Hopefully the quality of Mountain Hardwear will continue as Columbia takes this line over.

Reviewed by MonadnockGirl from Keene, NH on Saturday, March 17, 2012I purchased this jacket to possibly wear while alpine skiing since the hood was supposed to be fitted, but it is not. I think if my neck was 6 inches longer, maybe my head would fill the hood. It is not big enough to fit over my helmet either. I am keeping it since it is a good jacket but I will not be able to use it as intended.
