Light is right.

Well, we've all heard that before, and in this case, it's very true. This is a direct competitor to the TNF Verto jacket; however, at $30 less and half an ounce lighter, this takes the cake. There are no cinch cords or anything, but it's cut as to not need them. The hood fits beautifully even without cords. Just loose enough that's it's not uncomfortable, and just tight enough that even when riding a bike it stays on and covers your head. The water resistance is quite decent. It'll block light rain for about a half hour, and it actually kept me reasonably dry for about five minutes in a total downpour, which is highly impressive for something this lightweight. Better than all that is that it dries almost instantaneously, so even if you get soaked, it'll be dry in no time. A word of caution though, and that is unless you throw it in the dryer after it's gotten soaked through, the water repellency is severely decreased. I would say that it's windproof to about 25 mph or so, but that doesn't mean you won't lose heat through convection, especially in a thin material like this. Layer it over a Patagonia R1 and it's an incredible combo for cold weather exercise. Oh, and it also fits in the cargo pocket in my Overhang shorts.
