My Only Jacket...

Ranked #526 - Women's Down Jackets
August 19, 2009
I primarily wear only this jacket in SF winters, where temps might be down to the 40s with the wind chill, and I am on a motorcycle, so it gets pretty windy and cold. With a fleecy layer underneath, you could do colder temps, or snowboarding even, as it has a sealing drawstring on the waist. It's super light and comfortable and packs up easily in my backpack. The grey color is a light silvery grey, but very low key.
Cons: It does not do much for your physique ladies, it's a neutral fit, yet no form-fitting looks here. You will NOT look like the michelin man, because the jacket is so lite, but its a bit boxy.
Sizing: True to size. I am always a S in NF and i got a S. I am 36" 28" 37"
Overall: Great mid season outer jacket, and i guess it would work great as an underlayer, but why hide it?
