I absolutely love this jacket. It is my go to jacket for most any weather. It is pretty windproof unless it's really howling and even then it lets in just enough to keep me from overheating.
Unfortunately, I had a major problem with it this week. I needed to wash it and seeing as it is wool, I didn't want to ruin it so I followed the instructions to the letter. I washed in cold water, on the delicates cycle, with Woolite, and laid flat to dry. I tried it on again 20 minutes ago and it has shrunk about two sizes. I've contacted KUHL, so we'll see what they have to say, as I'm not thrilled about having to spend more money on a perfectly good jacket.

A little more experience. I actually returned the first sweater and I'm not sure if this is a normal thing but it was strange to me. I washed it literally twice. Both times were on the hand wash cycle in cold and laying flat to dry just like the instructions recommend. After the 1st washing it shrunk a little but not much. After the second it shrunk about 3 or 4 inches and went crooked. I returned it for a new one and again Backcountry.com replaced without any questions. So far this one hasn't had that problem and I've washed it more than twice so it seems that we're good to go.

This sweater is really amazing. For wool it's crazy soft, dries very fast and obviously insulates no matter what. It's great for just kicking around or layering or whatever. My wife calls it my "Mr. Rogers" sweater and I'm happy just the same to wear it whenever, wherever. I love this thing!

Extremely warm, functional, stylish. This sweater is great, it's actually surprisingly wind proof as well.

I bought this sweater and another merino one for my son to choose from to wear on a paddling trip. He chose the other one because he thought the boiled wool was not as soft, but I really liked this sweater and was sad to send it back. It was very thick and warm!
