Perfect UL jacket

This thing is awesome. Like the previous post, I don't ever have to think twice about bringing this thing with me anywhere I go. It packs nicely into the one pocket located on the chest. No frills but just about as light as you can get. I've taken it to Mexico in the jungle and I've run with it in the snow and rain. The rest of me might be soaked but I stay bone dry from the waist up. There's one elastic drawstring located at the waist and one on the back of the hood to tighten things up. The hood also has a lightweight bill to keep water from dripping into your face (very annoying and renders a jacket pretty much useless if the water just drains in through the hood).

I usually wear a large for most jackets but I went with the XL and wasn't disappointed. It might be a tiny bit baggy but the extra space will come in handy should you ever have to throw the thing on over multiple layers. When I run in the winter with a silk base layer, cotton mid layer, and fleece outer there's plenty of room. I'd recommend this jacket to anyone.
