My Wind Jacket is XL in Pumpkin color. Color looks like "muted orange", not very shiny, nice color per my taste. Weight is 141g on my kitchen scale.

It is trim fit. I suggest sizing up. I own several Rab garments in Large (I'm 210lb 43" chest), but in Wind jacket XL fits me without much room to spare. I can comfortably put it on the top of thin base layer or button-up shirt. On the top of Rab Micro zip-top fleece it is OK (I prefer more space), on the top of Rab Strata hoody it is somewhat restrictive... It has tight armpits, but it does not ride up when you reach above your head (tight armpit design is for that).

Fabric is ripstop nylon. I own Rab Cirrus pull-on and I've compared fabrics. Fabric feels similar, but is not exactly the same (ripstop step is bigger). There is no tag "Pertex Quantum" on Wind Jacket (Rab Cirrus has that tag). I can not detect difference in fabric air permeability in primitive "Darth Vader Test" between Cirrus and Wind, and it is not very breathable jacket (Cirrus is 1CFM according to Rab spec).

I'll not go deep into features, I'll just cover things you can not see on Campsaver's photo. There is a buckle to roll up the hood (like on Strata hoody). Jacket has third pocket inside on chest - you can pack jacket into it (and it fits nice there). There is small strap on the chest with the snap (useful if you have zipper open and wind kicks up). The hem has a draw-cord.

Conclusions... I think Wind jacket can cover stops and low-MET activity in warm a
