I am at school in Vermont and I live in this jacket from november to march. I owned and lost a nuptse and while the nupste was awesome because I could wear it over anything from a T-shirt up and run to class in any weather, I hated the bulk and didn't like to do anything active in it. I am 5'7, 135 lbs and the small fit great: slim and athletic. After getting this jacket, I am done with down, the Primaloft 1 is awesome.

I wear the jacket everyday, usually with a sweater underneath and it is ample down to about 18 degrees. I have worn the jacket with a set of Underarmor and a sweater and am fine down to -12. Light and totally windproof, the jacket is any skier/hiker/climber's gift from heaven. I ski in it in Utah in the mid-30s without a shell and it is great. Even in heavy snow and light rain, I am warm and dry.

Get one. Also, don't be afraid of the blue/lime color, I get positive comments on it everyday.
