Excellent even in the cold

My boyfriend surprised me with this jacket, and it has become a go-to piece for my winter runs. I live in the Finger Lakes region (upstate NY), and I find myself throwing this on for runs when temps are in the high teens and 20s and winds are light. No need to layer--I just throw it on over a sportsbra or insulating tank and am plenty warm. The fleece lining is super comfortable on my arms and midriff, the collar zips up nice and tight, and the soft lining of the collar is a great and cozy touch. The jacket is quiet and light, and the half zip really opens up to let cool air in when you warm up in a tailwind. I love this jacket. Fit was good in a medium (I'm 5'8", 34B). Sleeves hit right at the bottom of my hands, so they can't do double duty to protect hands from the cold as with some jackets, but my windmits can be stuffed into the sleeve stash pocket, so sleeve length is no defect.
