This jacket is magic!
I've had this jacket for a year and love it. Best running jacket I’ve ever owned. It's incredibly lightweight, weighing the same or slightly less than the Arc'teryx Incendo hooded jacket, but is actually fully wind proof and legit water resistant. Like it won’t completely soak through in a steady rain after 5 minutes. I’ve worn in rain for several hours and stayed mostly dry. The best part is the fact that it is actually breathable! I’ve worn other Windstopper and Gore-tex products before and instantly overhead in a few minutes in conditions over 30 degrees F. I’m comfortable in this jacket in temps up to about 45 degrees F. It’s basically the perfect all purpose, lightweight running jacket.
Now, the part why I didn’t give it 5 stars… the sizing is just crazy on it. I’m 5’8 and 128 pounds and have never worn anything but a small. The small on this jacket fits perfectly EXCEPT for the sleeve length and the overall length. The sleeves don’t even reach my wrists and the overall length goes down to my belly button. I actually found a medium of this jacket on sale elsewhere and picked it up, hoping the sizing was better, and the sleeve length and overall length do fit like a normal small… going down just past my wrists and down to my hips but the overall fit is way too baggy. I have no idea who this jacket is sized for but it’s not me. I now wear the medium and just deal with the bagginess of it because of the jackets great performance.
