This is a great jacket to own whether hiking climbing or just knocking around the construction site. The fit is great and you can't beat the wind blocking ability and warmth to weight ratio. If you want a jacket that is as active as your lifestyle give this one a shot.

Great product! Jacket is form fitting not as warm as expected. Expensive for what you get awesome design. Could use pit zips too. Slow shipping from altrec.

very warm and not bulky at all. little features like fleece cuffs on the inside of the arm and the drawcord around the neck keep your heat in.

While this jacket is marketed as a softshell it's one beast of an example! And I don't say this in a bad way as I like the bombproof feeling of this jacket. The jacket is pretty heavy compared to other offerings using Power Shield material. Because of this and the Windstopper material it's not very breathable. Windproof? Absolutely. Water Resistant? I've used it a couple times in some light to moderate showers. The water beaded but it started to seep into the fabric pretty quickly thereafter in certain spots. I didn't get wet on the inside so maybe the factory DWR coating just wasn't very good. Besides the jacket doesn't have a hood so I wouldn't want to get caught in the rain very long regardless. I ordered my "true" size because I like the tighter form fitting alpine cut stuff. Definitely order up a size though if you want to layer. Bottom Line: If you want a softshell to exercise in possibly look at some Powershield jackets instead. If you want a heavier weight softshell that will stop the wind this is your best bet.
