Pretty light, not so warm.

I had the misfortune of leaving my jacket at home and borrowed one of these from a buddy for a multi-pitch climbing day in NC. We got hammerd by wind and a little rain - I was cold and wet to say the least! The fabric ripped super quick and the hood fit poorly over my helmet, causing the bottom of the jacket to rise, exposing my cold skin. I'm not a big fella, 5.9, 160, but the shoulders were pretty tight, I felt like I was going to tear the back of the jacket, Hulk style! The ability to cram its self into the inside pocket was nice, even though the zipper got stuck and tore some (more) of the fabric. It worked, I guess, but I learned my lesson. Probly a good jacket if you need something to put in your golf bag, not for mountains the though, in my opinion.
