Mountain Hardwear Transition Jacket - Gore Windstopper® (For Women)

Windstopper plus breathability make this the perfect jacket for me. It is one of my staple clothing pieces for skate skiing, biking and hiking.

This is a fabulous jacket. It's close fitting so I bought a little bigger size. My only complaint is that the bicep area is a bit tight (I have big arms) and the sleeves are a bit long. I was able to easily remove the thumb loops though (which I dislike) and that helped a bit with the length.

I've had this jacket for a few weeks now and have used it for jogging in Alaska, backpacking in Southern Utah and just wearing around town during the unpredictable spring weather we've been having everywhere. I love it - it is comfortable and stylish while being extremely functional for many different activities. I'd like to have one or two more of them in different colors!

I have received a lot of compliments on the jacket. The sleeves are okay for me since I am 5'10 but I think they may be too long for someone shorter.

Both nordic skating and backcountry skiing, this jacket rules. It's featherlight and breathes really well while giving superb wind-protection. Also great under a puff when it's cold and windy. I never ski without this jacket on no matter what layer it is. It is built for small people, so if you're tall or have a larger chest it might not fit to your spec, but for little folks it is perfect.

This jacket is great. It is almost more of a technical shirt. I just got it but I've used it on a few runs in slight wind and drizzle. Kept me warm and dry. Living in the Seattle area, I see this jacket being used quite often. It is very comfortable against your skin. I wear it with just a tank top underneath for runs. It would be nice to have a zipper pull come up from the bottom for ventilation. Overall one of my favorite technical pieces!

You can wear this down to about 20 degrees if you're running. Just a whicking base layer and this is all you need.

This jacket is a truly amazing windblock. Incredibly lightweight and soft-- you'd never think it could keep the wind out so effectively! I bought the orange, which is perhaps a little brighter than the image appeared on my screen and runs slightly toward the red end of orange rather than the yellow end. It's a decently visible color for cycling, but is certainly not the high-vis safety orange. About fit: This is, as others have noted, a close-fitting item. I'm 5'4", 125 lbs with about a 37" chest. I bought the medium and it fits well and is flattering, but it would be a little tight with anything heavier than a wool shirt underneath. That being said, this jacket could also go under a fleece, I think, as a windblock layer. It's brushed on the inside, so it's soft against your skin. Sleeves run a little long, which is nice on a bike, and the cuffs are pretty tight, so don't plan to be able to push up the sleeves. When I'm riding, I do work up a bit of a sweat inside the jacket, but it doesn't seem to get especially clammy or cold and it dries right out again afterward. And yes, it has only one pocket, which is really just for an mp3 player. Another might be nice, but would add bulk to what is really a minimalist, highly technical piece of gear.

The only thing I am disappointed by is the lack of a drawstring around the hem. But it's close-fitting so it's not necessary.

Great, soft, durable. Looks great on. Love the hood so there is no need to pack a hat. Wish it had pockets :(
