My favorite jacket
By Jill Layfield
January 18, 2011
A good friend was recently visiting from the UK and was wearing this jacket everyday and highly recommended it - she wore it as a layer while touring. She spoke very highly of it and I was a bit embarrassed I didn't have one (as an employee of Backcountry)! Anyhow... I ordered the jacket and now understand why she recommended it. It's a jacket that is very easy to throw on.. hikes with the dogs, running errands, ski layer, at the office... it fits great, looks great and the the color is fantastic (cream and brown). I find it to be plenty warm for layering or for more casual wear. And of course, I love the Goat logo.

Jill what size did you get? I asked because I bought another BC jacket, size S and it turned out to be too short on the sleeves, so I am not sure if I should get size M for this one, what do you say?
