stylish, lightweight, comfortable

I bought this jacket on sale and am very pleased overall. The jacket is extremely lightweight. There are mesh panels from under the arm all the way to the hem. This makes the jacket highly breathable, but compromises it's waterproof capability. If you are running in light rain, or if you don't expect to stay dry in a downpour, you'll be happy.

The pictures confused me because the top part of the zipper area is black and the rest is blue. I worried that it might be a 1/4 zip, which I did not want. But it is indeed a full zip.

The jacket is cut very straight. I would have prefered a closer fit in the waist and a bit more room in the hips (where they have provided an elastic cord to make it even tighter -- I can't imagine who would want it tighter there??). There are pockets inside and out to carry whatever you might need.

All in all, this is a very striking jacket, lightweight and great for runniing in a light rain.
