I friggin' love this shirt. It's great as a warm baselayer, nice to sleep in and keeps off the morning mist, chill and dew. It is my go-to for cooler backpacking and hiking trips. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it. Hey, I just realized this shirt is on two different pages. What gives?

Nice jacket that keeps you warm in moderate conditions. Beware of the sizing - things are smaller than usual - I needed an XL instead of L. One negative - needs a drawstring on the waist. Customer service exceptionally good !

Best light weight softshell pullover ever. I wished there were some more colors and maybe an embrodered goat label as on shift jacket. I have been an arcteryx junkie and believe that these guys are producing same quality product at much more reasonable pricing.

Was able to gobble this up on for half price, and I really like this jacket. It breathes fairly well and rain beads on it a great deal...I have yet to be caught in a strong enough rainstorm to penetrate its outershell. I do have a couple small complaints. One, this isn't your minimalist jacket like those 4oz windbreakers we see, so I think a draw cord for the waist would of been a GREAT addition (I sometimes get updrafts and it slowly rides up due my the waist belt on my hydration pack). Also, the inner layer causes so much friction with my shirts that half the time it takes the shirt with it when I take the jacket off, even when I have the shirt tucked in. overall a great jacket, i'm just not sure if it's good enough for the full price tag.

Beware of the long sleeves and short cut. Other than that, this thing rocks! The lining is great!

I love this pullover shell! Great athletic fit and the sleeves are actually long enough on the Large for a guy with a 6' wingspan to fit in to without looking like he's wearing his girlfriend's coat. I'm 6'0" and 170lbs and the Large is a great fit. Nice and warm, yet lightweight and easily packable if the day heats up. If you can find it on sale, you're doing even better (I got mine on Steep and Cheap for under $60)... but it's great either way!

This is my second review of this jacket. I originally said that I wouldn't pay full price for it - now I disagree. If someone stole the one I have, I would probably pay double to get it back. This is hands down the best lightweight pullover I've ever seen. The PowerShield softshell material is head and shoulders above any other jacket material. Super functional - blocks even moderately heavy rain, nearly all wind, and oh so comfortable. The lining is perfect. The only thing I would warn of - I ordered a Large, then returned for XL (6',180, broad shoulders - also, the little extra length in the torso was nice...if you like a close fit, no need to order up). It would be nice if the logo was embroidered, but that's just me being picky.

I agree with others in that I wouldn't pay full price for it, but I got the sale price and for that price I think it's incredible. I am 6', 180 with broad shoulders, so I had to return the Large for an XL. Now that I have a size I'm happy with, I find myself wearing it constantly.

Wore this for 5 days of hard skiing. Great product. Does what it says will do. Looking forward to mtn bike season this spring. I'll only wear this on top for sure. Radar is on for more products from here. They have a winner here.

I picked this up on Steep and Cheap at a huge discount. Now that I've experienced it, I would probably pay the actual retail price for another. I wear this for cold weather running and it can't be beat. At first I thought it would be too light but it keeps me warm, breathes well, and is a perfect weight for running. I wear this over Patagonia Capilene 1 baselayers in sub-freezing weather (with or without precipitation) and it is perfect. Highly recommended.

When i first got it I thought it was too light to really wear on a variable day. I live in colorado and the saying goes if you dont like the weather wait 5 minutes. Then i took it up to bethod. I layer with a thin merino top and it was good in 40 degree sunny with ascent with gusting winds and a sahdy cold descent. Dumps heat while protecting from wind. I also bashed a fair amount of trees on the way down and didn't notice any abrrasions.....

I do a lot of running and have struggled to find the right pullover that can provide great wind protection and wicking.

The Rime Pullover does both very well. I also find the outer pocket is a great fit for my iPhone/iPod.

The fit is snug and athletic. I'm 5'10" and 190 with a 44" chest and it fits perfectly for me.

Pros: Great price. Great fit. Great protection.
Cons: Could be a little snugger around wrists and waist.

Everything you need and nothing you don't - it's made from Powershield and is comparable to name brand softshells that cost twice as much. Mine has been great for XC this winter, and I can't wait to use it for alpine climbs once the weather turns. As far as fit, I'm 6', 190 lb, 33" waist and a L fits me very well - as someone else said, the fit is similar to Arcteryx gear. Bonus: Made in Canada, not overseas!

I use this thing instead of my blanky that I've had since I was 2. It is that cozy.

This is a beautiful jacket. Very well made, classic lines and good fit. It breathes like a sunofagun. Feels fantastic. You can certainly see the difference in the manufacturing quality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I always get people asking me what the little Goat is for and I always tell them its for back country.com. I always wanted a great light weight jacket to use when I go skiing because I get really hot when I'm on the powder. perfect for me, but I would have bought a size up.

Everybody is right, it runs a bit small. I am typically a Medium and sometimes a small (5'8" and 165 lbs). I run in the Rime with a craft pro zero extreme base layer and there isn't any extra space. I have enough space and no complaints because it is just what I wanted. If you plan on wearing much under it at all I would suggest to size up. Some have complained about the lack of pockets. I use mine for running and don't want or need pockets. Others have complained about a stiff collar and it has some very slight stiffness that I think makes it look sharper on. I haven't found it uncomfortable at all. Of all the running pieces I have it is one of my favorites.

I have been using this piece for about a month now - backcountry skiing, mountain biking, and commuting to work on my road bike. Windstopper works great, the lining is very comfortable, the deep zipper provides great ventilation, and it seems to breathe well. Has been very water repellant so far, but I haven't washed it yet. I find the sizing to be ideal - an Arc'Teryx medium fits me like it is tailored and so does the Rime. The construction quality is outstanding and seems to match that of Arc'Teryx. I don't typically care about the appearance of gear like this, but have to say it does look great too. I am looking forward to other goat products! Absolutely outstanding customer service every time I have ordered from these guys as well.

I've worn this on several bikes rides with temps in the mid-30s and serious wind. With a base layer, it's been perfect. Totally blocks the wind, and breathability is great. At 5'10" and 160, Large is perfect for allowing base layer and freedom of movement. No post-ride stank. Why pay more for better known brands?

I wore this on March 1, over a T-shirt while climbing a tower in windy conditions. It worked extremely well, stretched and took abrasion well. The sleeves feel a bit awkward when I first put it on, like they're too narrow. I definitely should have tried a larger size. Otherwise I love the jacket.

I normally wear a medium but had to exchange for a large. The large fit perfect. The Rime has become an essential part of my gear. I have worn it as a base and mid layer. Great wind barrier and reasonably water repellent.

Quality seems good but it is thinner then the equivalent Mountain Hardware. I also find the cuffs are not tight enough to keep the long sleeves from hanging past my hands. I have been rolling the sleeves till I can get them hemmed.

Yeah the sizing runs a little small, but get the right size and you'll love it. The collar is a little stiff as someone else mentioned, but it doesn't bother me. It breathes really well and looks great. This is probably my favorite new article of clothing, and given enough time, I might buy a second in a different color for variety.

Can't say I'd pay $150 for it, but getting it on sale for $75 was fine. Overall I think it's a great lightweight jacket for running or hiking/backpacking in mild weather.. and it looks great. It does run a bit small, so order a size up from what you'd normally buy.

The pullover jacket is a great item to have in your bag. I bought one several months ago and just purchased two more. A great second layer for riding or as a last line of defense it repells a lot of harsh Northwest weather. Definitely a must.

Lightweight, wind resistant, stylish- awesome top. Athletic fit

This pullover is awesome. I bought my buddy one of these on SAC (He mentioned he was searching for a pull-over) and I wanted to steal it from him but in the XL it was too small. My girlfriend than picked me one up on SAC because she knew how much I was lusting after it in the XXL. It is totally windproof and water resistant as well. Fleece lined inside which my northface is lacking in the same material. The only drawback is the sizing. I always wear an XL and these are a size small. I am 6'2 220lb. If you can get it on SAC it's a steal.

i'm a huge patagonia man, but i bought this because i thought it would be a nice alternative to my r1 flash. boy was i wrong. this thing replaces my shell! it was 9 degrees in chicago today with high winds and i spent 5 minutes trying to get into my frozen car without noticing i was wearing only a t-shirt and rime. if only it was a onesie. i love this thing and will by at least one more for myself and a few for my siblings.

This pullover is pretty solid. Its comfortable and light enough that you don't want to take it off indoors. Word to the wise on sizing though, I am about 6'5" 250, the XXL just barely fits right so if you think you are between sizes, go big.

I've loved my Rime pullover for pretty much every activity I have used it for. For skiing it blocks out the wind very well, and insulated a little bit. It dumps heat very well when your sweating a lot, and it it very water resistant. It dries very quick and is pretty stylin too. I've been using it for everything from hiking, biking, to skiing and casual wear. It layers well too. I feel the jacket could use a hem cord on the waist, but otherwise is very nice.

I agree with Michael. The sleeves are long enough for my bro of 6'4" but the waist rides up a little short on him. Other than that he loves the slimmer fit and the warm lining.

This is a great piece- the fabric wicks well, and keeps you dry from whatever precipitation is coming down from above. I wore it on a sunny ice route which was dumping like a shower and it performed marvelously. I sized up from a medium to a large so I could layer under it, and I'm glad I did, I think the Medium would have been too short in the torso; I don't think that my torso is too long, so it's worth looking closely at.

I just got this thing today, and can't stop wearing it. Its quite wind resistant, but the stretch and comfort well make up for it. Its fairly thin, but has a very soft fleece inside, such that I wear it as a baselayer. Paired with an outer softshell, its essential in any layering system. On sale, this thing is a steal.

This jacket does it all. I pretty much wear it everyday. Works as a great lightweight jacket when it is cool out or as a layer under a more substantial shell. Blocks wind, water resistant, and breathes well. It has an athletic fit so I had to return my usual L size and get an XL. As usual, Backcountry got me my exchange in no time.

I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend, and he pretty much hasn't taken the thing off since. It's a great piece for touring, because it breathes well for the ascent and then keeps you warm on the way down. And it looks great. Right about the sizing though, he's tall and thin, 6' and a 32" waist, and the large is perfect.

If it's on sale for $80 or less, it's worth it. The collar is is super stiff, almost 70's looking and the seams look a little poor. I've used it skiing in the spring and it does fine on downhill or during backcountry skiing, but on a chairlift it doesn't stay all that warm. Definitely wear a capilene under it. It was great for backbacking, something high-aerobic where I'm pouring out heat. If you're going for lightweight warmth, spent the extra bucks for an Arc'teryx.

great piece !
five star !!
tried it on an early morning run in mid 40's F .
Worked great . offers good wind resistance and very good breathablilty !
light but not bulky .
Will probably buy another piece in the future .
If Arcteryx fits you then this piece will fit you as well .
I'm 5'11" and 155 LBs and it seemed to be tailored for me .
Thanks for helping select my size .
I'm very happy with this piece .
