Love this jacket!

I love this jacket, so light and stretchable and yet such a great wind protector. Can?t say enough good about the fabric and its true cut.

Great Light Softshell

Great jacket if you are looking for a nice, LIGHT stretchy softshell. Good for a cool summer hike or over an insulator to provide a little wind and snag protection. I bought one for hiking and another one to keep in my golf bag. It has a nice athletic fit not a baggy mid section like almost all other jackets. Would recommend.

Great all around light jacket

I’m not a climber but I bought this looking for a compact light soft shell I can use for alpine hikes, touring, mtn and road bikes and all around use. This jacket has so far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know the brand before buying but reviews were good. It fits perfect, slim fit size Large I’m 6’1 175lb. Just got back from a trip to New Zealand end of Nov, I packed it last minute just cause it packs small. I ended up wearing it every single day as bug, sun, wind and light rain protection. Breathes well with exertion too and kept me warm in cool weather. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Nice Lightweight Jacket!

I was looking for a lightweight jacket that was water repellent to some degree and this coat fits that bill. I haven’t tested the coat in a downpour, but in a light rain, it did fine and that is really all that I would expect. It’s a coat that not many people have so it’s kind of unique and it fits me well. I really like it! I’m 160, 5’11” and purchased a medium.
