First, I will say that I didn't return this because it will do the job. That being said, the fit is bulky. The arms are loose for having thumb holes, so those are unusable. The zipper accessory is nice looking, but maybe too long. The color is great and I did get compliments on it. I will wear it as a base layer and for cool weather outdoor activities.

I bought this as layering piece and for biking in cold weather. It works great in keeping me warm and sweatless on bike rides and am sure it will hold up well doing the same as a base layer for skiing. However, it isn't a wind stopper and can be cold if one is just hanging out. I am usually a medium and in ordering both the medium & small, ended up choosing the small. The small is form fitted and looks nice on my longish and thinish frame, the medium was a little baggy, which in this material isn't as flattering. The grey with stitching is a great color. I would recommend this to a friend, especially if bought on SAC.

This jacket will be part of my winter layering set-up and spring/fall hiking/biking pack essentials. It is great for active wear in cold/cool weather but probably not for just standing around in below 40 temps. I found that in doing the sleeve length test, they were short, but just hanging or regular activities, the sleeves hit my wrist bones. The jacket fits my frame nicely-long and fairly thin, and the color (Lava) is bright and bold, my style. I would recommend this to a friend, especially if she can get it on SAC.
