Stoic Breaker Fleece Hooded Jacket - Men's
Versatile, Athletic Jacket

Second Stoic piece, and I continue to be impressed. 5'11, 160lbs, 38" chest with long torso and the medium is perfect. Vintage is certainly purple, but it's a subtle one I've received compliments on.
It's great with a t-shirt in the 60s, down to the 40s if you're moving around. Haven't done any serious aerobic activity in it yet, but I imagine it'll get some use during the winter months. The hood is a pretty snug fit even without drawstrings, which are on the waist as well.
If nabbed on SteepandCheap, you're not going to find a better deal for a Wind Pro jacket. And yes, the fabric does live up to its namesake with a light, DWR-like finish to repel light drizzle for a bit.
One caveat...the stitching on the inner, left arm is already fraying after a month of moderate, casual use. I'm not worried structurally, just a bit disappointing given the price and how slick the jacket looks.
