Solstice

The color of the jacket was great and I liked the pit zips, but something about the fit was not quite right. The jacket was too boxy at the top and too tight at the bottom. It was also a bit too short and rode up when I lifted my arms. I returned this jacket.

The aqua color is beautiful so I kept the jacket. I am 130 lbs. 5' 4" and the small fits snug at the hips. It is cut roomy in the back for range of motion in x-country skiing and it has pit zips. It is cut longer in the back with a curve. The small is on the small side, so if in doubt go up a size for layering. Lined with light brushed fleece lining...good for a day 30 degrees and up with a light layer under it and if you are going to be active. Very attractive and feminine design.

I love everything about this jacket! I have been wearing it everywhere since it arrived in the mail. It has plenty of ventilation--I joked with my mother that it is a "menopause" jacket--when the hot flashes come, just unzip the undersides of the sleeves for a quick cool-down. :)

I bought this jacket because its one of the few lightweight jackets with hand warmer pockets. It also was the best price out of all the online retailers. SierraTrading Post rules!

Lightweigh,windproof and waterproof

Bought it for horseback riding on cold days. articulated elbows are an added plus.

Never owned a soft shell. Bought it because of its breathability factor and haven't been disapointed.

warm and cozy

Good medium weight jacket with fleecy lining. So far it's been windproof and waterproof in light precipitation. Highly recommended.

This jacket is serviceable and looks great. It's a trim fit that goes on errands as well as more ambitious outdoor exercise outings. Moves well.
