Great minimalist layering piece!

This is a great layering piece for fast and light mountain travel. I couldn't believe it was almost half the weight of my Mt. Hardwear Compressor, but it seems to be true - they do it by eliminating shock cord, zippers and toggles, among other things, but it weighs near nothing and packs tiny. Not super warm, but perfect for the Pacific Northwest or as a second insulating coat. Note: the fit is also pretty minimalist, especially around the shoulders.
