Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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 !

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.
