Comfortable, but not technical

I was hoping for a little more edge to this hoodie. It's pretty much just that- a hoodie. While it performed well in spring skiing conditions, I'm generally not impressed by it's wind resistance (read: very little) or its water resistance (read: none) My largest complaint is that I've been wearing it for a week or so now, and already the fabric around the hands and neck is already piling. I'm going to trade up to the true siphon wool-blend jacket. All told though, as a hoodie, it can't be beat, but as a jacket, it needs a little something more.
Fit: slim and good
Design: lookin' sexy
Wind and Water: mediocre to poor
As a layer: pretty good
