Lightweight, warm, breathes well

Potential concerns first: The torso on this pullover is short relative to most other pieces and the cut is quite fitted.
That being said, I don't think it is necessarily bad that the torso is short as it fits perfect under a jacket. You really wouldn't want the Rime to stick out from under everything you wear, right? If you're looking for a midlayer, order your normal size; If you're planning to use the Rime as more of a jacket, order a size up. I'm a S in other brands and the S Rime fits me very well. It is quite fitted, however, so don't be surprised.
The material is comfortably soft on the outside, does a great job of blocking the wind, and is remarkably lightweight overall. For (non-winter)alpine climbs I find pairing the Rime with a baselayer to be just about perfect.
Lastly, this pullover has held up fantastically well through many trips of abusive treatment- grungy chimneys, sharp cracks, and bushwhacking galore. Love my Rime.
