Outstanding jacket for a not-going-to-recover jacket addict. Not too cold that day, perhaps mid to upper 20's, but windy at the top. Jacket fought the wind and kept me warm with only a silk-weight and a base layer. So light and functional, I didn't know it was there. Wore it in the rain the day before in Interlaken, Switzerland and it works great. At the end of the day while poling and skating to the end of the run, I had to open up the pit zips and it was like I turned on the A/C. I bought the medium and since I am short, the hip-fit cut fit me just right. I am 5' 7" and 160, and have plenty of room to layer. I could probably work a small, too. My first piece of gear from this brand and I will have to save my pennies, because it won't be my last.
