The ultimate layer.

If I'd bought this 20 yrs ago, I wouldn't have all the other layers I've collected over that time that are now obsolete. For anytime other than summer, this is THE layer you want against your flesh. The comfort is unlike any material I've ever worn, and it does a great job of keeping you warm & dry. The hood is much appreciated for when you need it, and get's out of the way quickly when you don't, without the hastle of having to pack it away somewhere. I'd have no qualms of wearing this for several days straight if backpacking. At 5'-11"/145 lbs, I opted for a small, and it's perfect for me. The hood & neck is snug, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. The one zippered chest pocket is good for keeping a Cliff bar or two from freezing. I may never get used to the off-set zipper up top, but it wouldn't keep me from buying another. Quality is typical of Patagonia - none better.
