Couple questions for the other gear-aholics out there...
I have a Shift Welder, is the Rime a lighter weight version or just the same, minus a sweet hood?
Also, is the summit sky color the same as the Tahoe for the Welder? Some guy down below returned his because he said it wasn't really blue, more teal I guess?
Lastly, I'm a muscular 6' 195 that runs marathons frequently, any advice on the size? I'm going to be running in it during the winters, so I don't want it too baggy, but I definitely need to be able to take it off haha. Thanks for your help!

1) The rime is definitely lighter than the welder. The fleece in the rime is not as full/plush as the welder. Also, the outer material is a bit rougher/tougher than the welder which is smoother. This is not a detriment...the rimes outer surface is similar to many other soft shells out there. 2) I have the rime in summit blue and the picture at the outlet is a pretty good represenation....I would call it 80% blue/20% grey...so its a muted blue. I havent seen the tahoe in person but all the comments seem to make it out to be a teal like color and the summit blue is defineitely not teal like. 3) I have similar build 6/190-200...about 35 waist, 35 sleeve, 42ish chest, run marathons and the large fits well with a light base layer (short sleeve or long sleeve). I might get a midweight on but that would be overkill for most situations. The deep zipper makes it easy to pull on/off. Overall this is a great layer. I wouldnt worry too much about color if you get a good deal on sale or if you have time/patience at steepandcheap.com (bc owned site). Check out history at http://sac.gearattack.com/search?q=rime
