Was sorry to send this jacket back - it moved well and was a great windblocker, but was simply too big. I wore it snowshoeing in a MN blizzard, and maintained a comfortable temperature the whole time. However, the thin ice color was a magnet for smudges and smears. Great jacket, but watch the sizing and color choice depending on your pursuits.

I'm really liking this jacket. Its warm, does a great job blocking wind and light rain, and it looks really spiffy. Its also good for pet owners, it almost repels hair. Its a nice slim fit that is flattering. The collar is a little stiff at first, but I'm finding that it relaxes with a few washes. It keeps you very warm if you are active, even in extreme cold, but if you are sitting around at camp you might want some insulation.

Love Love Love Patagonia, but this softshell was a bit of a disappointment. The collar is stiff and rubbed uncomfortably under my chin. The collar could have used a drawcord. I found the fit a little funky too; it tended to ride up around the middle while skiing.
