Mountain Hardwear Zoetic Shirt Jacket (For Women)

Great jacket, perfect for running in cool weather.

nice jacket for running

This jacket is great except it seems to cut for a man, so much a gave it to my boyfriend and he has never said a word about it.

This jacket is perfect for running (or any other outdoor activity) when the weather is a little chilly or windy. I live in Wisconsin and in the spring you just never know if the breeze is cool or warm. This jacket has been perfect for me and it is so comfortable. The color is exactly what I pictured as well.

The ripstop polyester looks and feels like very thin nylon -- somewhat thinner than a nylon water repellant windbreaker or nylon warm-up top/bottom. This jacket really does not keep a person warm until after exercising for a few minutes. Although it is very lightweight as advertised; I feel that the outer "ripstop polyester" layer could use a little more bulk. I would buy again if the price was lowered by another[$]

This is a great shirt jacket with one exception - it has one hand pocket. I could see no hand pockets in a "shirt" jacket or two pockets but it is strange to have one. Soon as you put your hand in the one and only pocket your other hand just automatically searches for the matching pocket - not there!

(FYI, My figure tends roughly towards "hourglass." 5'8", 140 lbs, got size medium.) I found this jacket unproblematically large (I could have comfortably taken a small) in the chest, very large and shapeless in the midsection, and just large enough in the hips. I fear if I had exchanged for a small, which may have helped the bust and waist fit, it would have been too small at the hem for my hips. I thought the sleeves were going to be too long, but they turned out to be fine. Another problem besides the overall fit was the zipper bulged strangely when I sat, giving the illusion of a mutant limb, or perhaps an infant alien, projecting from my stomach/chest. I've always hated when jackets did this. The fit and the zipper (especially the zipper) were only major, return-worthy problems because I'm quite self-conscious about the fit of my clothes. If you're not, then this jacket would be a better choice for you than for me. As for more practical matters, a second front/hand pocket would have been very nice. I'm in the habit of putting my hands in my jacket pockets, and having only one pocket put a damper on this; if you don't have this habit, or if you plan to use the jacket for athletic activities where you won't be putting your hands in your pockets for warmth/etc., then it should be fine. I just found the single pocket annoying; that, along with the other problems, made me feel that I could do much better. I returned this jacket and used my credit to order a different one entirely. Glad that's so easy to do, with Sierra!

Really nice jacket, but the lining is some type of a brushed fabric. I found that this brushed fabric sticks to my shirts so the jacket kind of gets hung up on the clothes I am wearing under the jacket. It is a super light weight jacket, nice quality, but not a keeper for me.

The jacket is long enough to cover your back comfortably. It is wind resistant and provides a little bit of warmth while being very breathable during those long runs. The double zipper lets you adjust your body's temp without having to take off and put on the jacket constantly. I love the high collar.

this lightweight jacket can go from outdoor workout to coffee shop with ease. Comfortable, wind resistant and warm enough for changing seasons without being too hot.
