Surprising!

By ZadZack Ranked #370 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets December 28, 2009

Purchased this as a gift for boyfriend, so I relied on the size chart which is accurate. He's 6' and an athletic 185-190 lbs and the fit of the large was great, just as expected.

It's incredible how much protection this soft (nice to the touch!) and lightweight jacket provides! It seems like everything would go through it -- rain, wind, chill -- but it handles them quite well. He tested it in 34-degree weather with only a cotton long-sleeve shirt; it should be a bit warmer for only that sort of insulation, but it will work well with different layers -- either underneath or over -- to meet just about any condition within reason.

Additionally, it's so thin and lightweight that it can pack down to an incredibly small package. Will work well when we travel abroad during the spring and fall -- it could be crammed just about anywhere! ;-)

Overall, is a nice, thin option for weather in the Pacific Northwest!
