This two-toned beauty will keep you going. I love it. I beat the crap out of it doing off-width/chimney climbing at J-Tree in 40 degree weather with the classic wind blowing, and it worked like a charm. The Windstopper did what it was supposed to do, and the material held up to the 8-grit sandpaper that is J-Tree. As long as I wasn't sitting in one place not moving for more than 10 minutes (read: windchill felt like 25), I was fine. Used as a mid-layer, and you're good to go for some pretty chilly situations.

Lack of pit-zips makes it probably not the most ideal for really high-intensity activities, but that's what your softshell is for. I used it for a lot of cooler-weather rock climbing, and it was great. It's also nice enough to wear it out on the town for a few post-crag beers.

I'm 6', 165lbs, and the M fits perfectly.
