Item #MHW1236 | 189 in Stock

I am looking for a jacket to wear when I am running around town...

I am looking for a jacket to wear when I am running around town this winter. I want something warm without the bulk. Is this a good jacket?? or do you have any other recommendations?

I've been surprised by how warm this fleece is in terms of insulating. However, it is not very wind resistant. If you're walking outside in the breeze, either throw a shell over this or look for something with windproof fleece, or a nylon exterior.

This would be a great jacket for the use you describe. A couple of other options would be the Mountain Hardwear Women's Nitrous Jacket (down insulated) or the Mountain Hardwear Woman's Compressor Jacket (primaloft insulated.) Both are lightly insulated with little bulk. Hope this helps!
