I wanted wind proof insulating layer

I was looking for a layer to wear under my new Patagonia Element shell. The DriClime windshirt is very light and compact and works well as my only insulating layer (between underwear and shell) down to 15-20 degrees and moderate wind. For colder/windier conditions I still want another layer--that's why I gave 4 stars rather than 5. But it's not a big issue because the windshirt is so light that I don't feel bunched up with a 4th layer. I am 5'9", 160 lbs. and get a pretty good fit from medium size, though it would be better if sleeves were about an inch shorter.
