Windproof - yes, warm - no. By dude from dudesville, oh on 02/05/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight Cons: Inadequate Protection, Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Casual Wear, Skiing/Snowboarding Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Perfect extra layer or on its own! By Owl from New Orleans, LA on 01/24/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Exactly what I need for cold, windy days in the mountains and around home in the city. The windstopper element also adds to the warmth of the jacket. Even though the sleeves are a little long, they are not uncomfortably long. Perfect!
By whoops from northern california on 01/20/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels too short Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: the jacket i ordered was a xxl and was suppose to fit a 50 inch chest but felt like and undergarment it was so tight. the sleeves tapered to the wrist which made it difficult for me to get my hands in. i am 6'2" 275# and wear most outdoor clothing but this product line must be for extremely slim folks
By K9 from NC mountains on 01/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Biking, Cold Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent wind protection in a lightweight jacket. Well made, with "lifetime" guarantee from Lowe Alpine. In contrast to a similar product from another company (which I have returned to Sierra Trading Post), the zippers work; it does not leak cold air, sizing is true (exceptional these days), and it looks good. I've found it ideal for a wide range of temperatures.
By Henry Parsons from Louisiana on 01/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Windproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Warmer than it looks. Will keep you warm and dry with only a medium base layer underneath. My only complaint is the fleece of the right elbow is starting to wear and nap.
By Anthony Fiorillo from Wichita, KS on 01/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Very water resistant, Windproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Skiing/Snowboarding, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket overall is very excellent. The fit is great. The paneling on the arms allows for very good movement. When I got the jacket, I was kind of surprised because I was expecting something a little thicker and more fleece-like, but it proved to insulate well. Honestly, it is unlike anything I have seen. It is considered a fleece but yet the material on the outside is more like a softshell. I even did the sink test and stuck my arm under the faucet to check water resistance. No matter how long it was under, the water just rolled off. I have a hardshell jacket that does not even boast this good of water resistance. I know it is a DWR coating, but most DWR coatings start soaking in water after a few minutes under the faucet. My only complaint is that I wish it had more insulation.
By Proto-geezer 64 from Boston area on 01/16/2009 Cons: Inadequate Protection Best Uses: Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It's really really thin for fleece and pretty shiny. It might be good as a layer for serious lightweight-demanding through-hikers, but it's not that warm and it has all the style and feel of thermal underwear.
By Seadog from Brookings, OR on 01/07/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Windproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I live on the Southern Oregon Coast - wet, windy, moderate to cold temps. This jacket is very functional in this location.
Great jacket at a great price! By Tri Dude from Los Alamos, NM on 01/06/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Warm, Windproof Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this jacket on cold windy days to mtb and run in. It is the best cold weather workout jacket I've ever owned. I now own two of them because I use them so much in winter. I wish they were a little easier to wash (hand wash only).
By Homebrewermike from Madison, WI on 01/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Can't say enough good things about this jacket. I went running is 15 degree temps with 25 mph wind gusts and was toasty warm. All I had underneath was lightweight poly compression shirt. Great purchase. I only gave it 4 stars though because I feel it would be the perfect jacket if it had just a little underarm ventilation.
