This jacket rocks. I recently used it on a backpacking trip thru Haleakala crater, and it kept me warm down into the 40s with just a t shirt on underneath it, and the wind was blowing 15 to 30 mil/hr. Its lightweight, and performs awesome. It blocked the wind and shed water great. I am 5 8 and 150 lbs and the medium fits great, with a little room to layer. Overall great jacket. If your on the fence just buy it!
