The North Face Better Than Naked Cool Jacket - Men's

Perfect Summer Jacket

By Ranked #128 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets June 10, 2011

I will likely wear this jacket every day for the rest of the summer! The material is so light you barely notice you are wearing it (my medium size is 4oz). Wicks moisture well and has nice venting on the chest and back. The back of the neck is slightly higher than you might expect but makes for great sun coverage. The drop back is perfect for cycling. No hook and loop, no adjustable anything making it very minimalist. I'm 5'5" and thin - both the small and medium fit, but I went with the medium because it will always be over another shirt and I prefer it to be loose for the hotter days.

If I had to nitpick - there is only one pocket on the sleeve, and because the material is so light, almost anything you put in there will bounce and swing while running or riding, it is not a place for your phone...
