Arc'teryx Griffon Jacket - Men's

Got the Griffon as a mid layer for skiing. It worked great on the slopes between some merino wool and a Theta AR. It also makes a great athletic cardigan. I can go all day wearing it without overheating. Right from the icy morning commute through work in an office building, then back home. It's pretty cool that way, mixing warmth and breathability. It's just uncanny how it keeps me warm without overdoing it.
The fit is pretty athletic. The sleeves have an elastic panel that hugs your wrist and makes a good seal. But, this arrangement means it can be a pain to look at your watch.
I haven't worn it in the rain, yet. But it sheds snow well enough.
