New favorite wind layer
This jacket is super lightweight, and comfortable. Fits true to size. Plan to wear it hiking and climbing.

magic material
What a unique jacket! The cut is actually flattering, which is rare for this kind of jacket. It's not bulky, loud (swishy), or heavy. It's the perfect weight, and I know I'll be reaching for it year-round.

to be seen
I bought this for backcountry skiing. I've had several layers like this in the past. I bought this because of the color, has a hood and it seems roomy; not too tight across the back. Seems to breath well when skinning uphill. I also like the length which seems a bit longer than my similar layers that I wear for biking which is good. Fits true to size although the arms may be a bit longer than a normal small size. Doesn't bother me.

The material was much thinner
The material was much thinner than I expected, but it retains heat remarkably well for how lightweight it is. It’s also very flattering. This will definitely become a regular, it’s perfect for layering or wearing alone

Love it
It fits perfectly and is a great material. Lightweight and perfect as a soft shell layer when climbing

Gigantic hood
Love having this jacket in my running pack as an emergency layer or for windy ridges. However, the hood is comically large. I get that this is so they're helmet compatible, but I do find that the hood splays out and exposes quite a bit of your neck when it's down (rather than standing more upright). The sleeves are also super long. Not the first BD piece I've owned with strange proportions in the women's clothing (doesn't seem to be as much an issue in the mens clothing ....)

Schoeller
This is a great jacket. Any item made with Schoeller fabric will have a great weight to warmth ratio and enough weatherproofing to handle a brisk hike in light rain. The minimal features is a plus. This a daily wear piece especially in the early morning mountains, fall and spring.
