Incredible piece

By Owen Caprell Ranked #82 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets November 1, 2011

The Houdini is incredible. It's a great jacket to have on hand for all of those times (from climbing, to hiking, to skinning, to cycling, to...) where you don't need a full on shell, but you need something. It provides great wind protection with little added weight, and takes up very little space. Packing it into its own pocket makes it small enough to fit comfortably into a standard pocket on a cycling jersey, or practically disappear in your pack. It is also surprisingly durable. I had a little run in with a car (literally), on my bike commute home one day, landing me, in my houdini, on the asphalt. After collecting myself, I was pleasantly surprised to find no rips or holes in the jacket, only some black marks.

I'm 5'11, 150# and the small fits perfectly.

EDIT: Backcountry's info says there are two pockets. This is incorrect, there is only one.
