perfect piece of work

I think only one other piece of clothing ever got a perfect from me. Windproof and lightweight it's a perfect supplement to a Capilene midweight long sleeve on really early/really late season backpacking when the temp dips or it gets breezy on exposed terrain. It works to keep you warm at dusk/sunrise too, but I also keep the compressor PL for really chilly, non-active moments. It's trim fit is designed for the 33% of U.S.A. that's not overweight, and aids in efficient body heat retention and layering under a trim fitting superlight rain jacket or Gore shell. Props to the proper placement of hand pockets on this jacket, which is one area a lot of jackets/vests flunk, and the last deciding factor for 5 stars.
