Awesome Jacket

Awesome jacket! For those that are thinking of buying one you need to know that it is a very light jacket and has very little insulation value. If you want a jacket with more insulation get something else. I wanted a very light, wind resistant, breathable jacket for running in the winter when it is really cold. This is going to be awesome and exactly what I was looking for. Most jackets are bulky, especially in the pocket areas which is bothersome when running due to the swaying. I love the fit as it is an athletic fit which works best for the active crowd and isn't built with belly room like most jackets are now days in an effort to appeal to the masses that have bellies. It runs small by comparison to most jackets. I would say a medium in this jacket is mid way between a normal small and a normal medium in most other brands. I have the Backcountry Rime Pullover as well and the fit is the same there. I love the material of both. I ran a bunch in the Rime last year on fairly cold days but on the coldest days it was just not quite enough. The Shift Jacket will be perfect.
