Not quite what I expected

This seems more like a really heavy shirt to me than a really light jacket. The fit is very tight, I usually wear a M and the L in this still inhibits movement when I climb, so order up a size and don't expect to be doing anything too flexible. The sleeves are too tight to be pulled up without cutting off circulation at the elbow, which for me is a problem because when cooking or climbing, I like to have my sleeves up. And finally, it is not windproof at all. I didn't expect it to be, but it really has no windproofing whatsoever, to the point where if you are wearing it at a comfortable temperature and a breeze kicks in, you will be too cold. All that said, it is a great fleece for day to day, walking to class, not too cold, urban environments, etc, it's just not practical enough for me to want to take it anywhere.
