I bought this jacket with warmth and weight in mind for backpacking and I was not disappointed. The jacket is a great fit - I usually wear a medium or sz. 8-10 jacket and I bought a med. It's roomy enough to wear over other layers without being baggy. It's a flattering fit, too, and long enough in the arms. The best feature about this jacket is how lightweight it is and its compactability. The 10 oz. squeezes down into a Granite Gear Air Bag (#2 - 5 x 11.25 in) that I bought from REI, which then fits into on of the side pouches on my backpack. This is also great for travel - and converts into a nice pillow on the airplane. I love the green, too, and have had lots of compliments.

Great customer service. I ordered this jacket online and paid with Paypal. This process was extremely easy and the customer delivery service was outstanding. I received the product in 2 days. I love the jacket as it provides warmth and light weight with non bulky properties.

This jacket is just as it looks in the picture, although it was lighter-weight than I expected (this isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different) The color was a little bit darker pink and shinier than the picture shows. I've worn it almost every day since it arrived, in all kinds of weather. Light enough to layer over a sweater on a cold day, but also comfortable over a t-shirt when you're not sure if it's going to stay cold enough to warrant a jacket all day. The collar bugs me a bit when it's zipped all the way up, it pokes me right in the chin. Other than that, pretty much an all-around great jacket! Packs up small if you'll use it for travel, so it's easy to throw in your bag as a last-minute add.
