I'm not sure if I have enough good things to say about this jacket.
I love the color. Don't find much in cream. Only downside (or so I thought) was I wore it out on a canyoneering adventure.. with the sliding around, it got a little dirty.. but looking like new again after a wash.
I LOVE love the design. Good quality, nice clean lines. Love the brown pocket on the arm, for easy access, and looks good.
I've worn it under a down layer on an extra cold day (10 degrees).. or over a fleece and merino wool layer on other cold days (30 degrees). Layering with this jacket is super easy because it is thin and lightweight, and seems to have a little give so putting layers under is not constricting.
Dresses up well. While durable, it's still feminine and a "nice" jacket.
I've worn it hiking, running, mountaineering, canyoneering, running errands ... and somehow still looks good with a cute pair of jeans on a chilly night out.
