The bomb (shelter)!

This thing is absolutely amazing! I bought this to wear on my motorcycle in cooler weather. I wear under clothes body armor and needed something bright that also blocked the wind (I like to ride in a hoody). I went on my first ride today, upper 50's, sunny and about 20 mph winds, on the highway at 70 mph, this thing does the job. It is absolutely a brick wall against the wind and very comfortable. I am 5-8 135 and bought the medium (need a bit of extra room for my body armor), works great. I could go with a small for casual wear or to layer under my shell, but this will work both ways also. I am thinking about getting a black one in size small, for being out and about in Iowa winter. Burton hit a home run here (I am normally a TNF guy). This will be an ultimate layering piece under my TNF gore-tex shell for the hardcore stuff...

Ok, I like this hoody so much, I bought a second one. It is windy where I live and gets quite cold, the small is a perfect fit without my body armor. I do not have the same issues as the other reviewer.

A huge shout out to Backcountry, needed this for the weekend and they upgraded my shipping for free, keeps me coming back. Thanks BC!
