I love this jacket. It's light and comfortable. I really like the stretch to the fabric and the long arms. Surprisingly warm for a non-insulated jacket.

great jacket, light weight, warm, very mobile, great fit, very warm, the only down side is, no hood does great as a mid layer in real bad conditions.

I've ended up wearing this way more than I though I would.

It doesn't have a ton of insulation but it blocks the wind incredibly well and makes any insulation, be it a t-shirt or sweater, work much more efficiently.

It feels extremely durable and I'm not afraid to take it climbing.

If I bring this jacket, a t-shirt, a very light fleece and a very lightweight rain jacket I can take on just about any activity as long as I'm not sitting still for forever.

Only complaint might be that it fits too tight to roll the sleeves up, but the times when I'd be too hot with the jacket on but just right with the sleeves up are pretty few and far in between.

The pocket on the back is not very useful to me either. Most things I would use this for I have some sort of backpack on.

I've used this for cold weather cycling and backcountry skiing (both nordic and alpine). It's done great in everything. I'm especially pleased with the long sleeves-they overlap well with warm gloves. My only complaint is that the main zipper is very small, and is difficult to operate in gloves.

Purchased for cycling, and it does a great job. 5'11", 170lbs, 42" chest, 30" waist and the medium with layers under it fits perfect. Very light, wind resistant, and I haven't been run over yet so I'm assuming the reflective patches may have helped. :) Two-way zipper helps when needing to adjust layers or what have you. It breathes well too with a wicking layer under it. Haven't needed the thumb loops because the arms are tapered and stay in place as is. It fits like a custom tailored garment. Very happy with it!

The Tanglewood Softshell Jacket is well constructed, (especially with its waist draw cords that keep heat in when you want it), beautifully styled, and more importantly, for the cyclist, at least, it is amazingly wind resistant. The material is 3x or 4x's more effective than what you would have expected or hoped. On my first ride down Deer Hill, on a very cold and windy day, I kept wondering what this feeling on my chest was all about. Eventually, I realized it was the wind. Hard to Imagine! Warning! You must wear an insulator underneath on cooler days, like Hyperdry, Powerstretch, Transition, or one, two, or three, if it is very cold. Oh!. The morning dew is forming like little rain drops on my sleeves or is that the rain? It does it all.

I've been using this jacket for everyday wear. I love how this jacket looks and fit, but that's about it. It's not very warm by itself, I often have to add another layer. It's very sligtly water resistant, but if you are in rain more than a drizzle for more than a couple of minutes you will get wet. Most frustrating is that the zipper came unstitched from the coat. I've only had this coat 3.5 months, so I'm not too happy about that. It's now unusable so I am returning it to get something different. =-[

I got this jacket in the Galaxy blue color. It's a really nice color and pretty much looks exactly like the picture. I'm a little on the short side and the small fits me okay. (5'6'' and 135 pounds). The front is cut a little short and the bottom kind of squeezes in without even tightening the waist draw cords, but overall I am very happy with this jacket.

The style of the jacket is what is getting the stars. For most Mountain Hardware jackets the cut is bulky, this however is slimmer and sporty. I would recommend going to a store first and trying on,then buying online to save! As for the Tanglewood, there is not insulation in this jacket what so ever, It is basically a one step upgrade from a windbraker. I would probably not purchase this product if you are looking for something warm.

Fits snug, which is what I was looking for.Still has ample room in chest and I like the longer arms with thumb hooks.I'm looking forward to using it on those uphill grinds backcountry skiing. I'm 6'0 190lbs. and got the large

This jacket is all that and more. When I first placed my order I got a M according to the fit chart. I had to return it and got a L instead. I primarily use this jacket for my winter bike riding. And let me tell you it has kept me warm and comfortable. I did find that at temps at around 5 degrees the jacket does not breathe very well, it has not bothered or affected me or my riding. And you should be ok as long as you have a proper layer under it.
