I love this piece. It is exactly what I was looking for - something lightweight and packable for Spring and Fall trips where my winter puffy is overkill. Something that is small and light that mostly lives in the pack until you need it. I had on a recent White Rim mtn. bike trip where the weather deteriorated from the forecast and it totally saved my ass. I was warm, even though it was cold, windy and raining on and off. One thing that surprised me is that the hand warmer pockets don't have zippers. It hasn't been a problem, and in retrospect, it is designed as a layering piece, so no zippers makes sense. I just didn't expect it. All in all, this piece rocks - and in earthy tones too...
