Not very form fitting, ok warmth

Rotate this jacket in between Atom LT and Ghost Whisperer - just doesn't compare in terms of quality. Good as mid-layer or on cool but not cold days.

Love this jacket

I've used this jacket for a few years now and I'm super pleased with it. Sure, it's hard to put on when you're wearing long sleeves, but it's light, comfortable, and keeps you warm even if it's wet, so I love it. I run warm so it only works for an uphill ski touring layer if it's really cold, but I love it for other winter activities as part of my layering system.

Overall pretty good

The jacket itself is good and warm, but lightweight. However the interior mesh type material makes it a pain to put on over nearly any base layer or other fleece I have on - it just catches making it annoying. thus the actual jacket funtion - works - just the getting on and off!

Light and Warm!

Used this as my outer layer while mountaineering on Mt. Hood OR. We had record snowfalls and temps in the 20s F with strong winds and this jacket kept me warm but not sweating while climbing. I used a merino wool base layer under this jacket and nothing else on my torso. Hood fit snug over a climbing helmet. Very light and soft material. Great softshell for high intensity mountain activities if it's not super wet. I would highly recommend. I am 6'1" and 190#. Size Large fit me perfect. Longer cut sleeves and torso in this design common in climbing clothing.

My favorite jacket!

This is the perfect PNW jacket. It's very breathable but also warm. My family is very active and I wear this jacket almost everywhere.

A nice jacket for outdoor activities

It is a nice javktet perfect for outdoor activities in automn as in winter (have not tried it yet rest of the year) Pros: -Good wind shield -Good adaptibility to the weather (never got cold in it nor too hot) -Good breathability -Keeps warm even if the jacket is wet. -Perfect under a hardshell Cons -If you are thin like me but tall enough, it'll be hard to find the perfect fit. (I am 6"1 and weight 65kg, bought a XL (the length of the jacket is perfect but it is a little bit too large for me, even with the adjustment which makes a little bit of wind enter the jacket) -Lastly,the jacket isn't sufficiently waterproof. It is good enough for a slight rain, but not more. Good luck looking for your jacket and have a nice season!

wonderful lightweight warm jacket

Great jacket. My only issue is that its a little hard to slide your arms in because of the lining material. It breathes very well and that's probably why they can't use a slippery lining. This is manageable if you choose a layer that slides more easily.

So comfortable!

I like this jacket so much, I wear it inside the house too. Glad I ordered a size larger so I can wear extra layers when it is really cold outside. I could wear my other warmer jackets but those are not as breathable as this jacket.

Do you like comfort? Then come get some.

It's an amazing hoodie. Supremely comfortable, with an amazing ability to regulate body temp. I intended it to be for when I go out winter hiking, but now I wear it EVERY. DAY. The main zipper came un-sewed, or tore free from body of the hoodie right in the center on the wearer's right. It didn't slow me down, since I own a sewing machine. I think it was probably a fluke and even WITH that fault, I consider it a 5-star garment.
