Had a chance to test this recently. Does exactly what it was designed to do. It effectively blocks the wind. Love the side zip and the deep front zip. The Cordura/Lycra material is outstanding. Highly abrasion resistant and feels much softer than anticipated. Not a great amount of stretch but every bit helps.

I would say these run only slightly bigger than they are sized. I tested a size Medium. At 5'10 and 185 lbs I was pushing the limits for that size. I didn't have much room for anything other than a baselayer (medium weight) underneath it but still didn't feel too restricted.

Liked this piece so much that I ordered a second one in a Large for more layering versatility on cooler days. I own a lot of different jackets and wind shirts and consider this to be one of the best purchases I've made.

If you're looking for a lightweight, tough fabric, wind blocking piece then you should definitely consider the OR Contour Windshirt.
