So lightweight but works well - Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hooded Jacket - Women's

I purchased this jacket on the recommendation of a friend. I am an ultra runner and need something that packs light but works well. I have only worn this once so far. I haven't worn it in the rain yet as it's still winter. The day I wore it, it was fairly cold and not really windy. It kept me warm as my body heat was trapped inside. The hood stayed up and didn't flop around (it was comfortable and kept the back of my neck warm). The elastic around the sleeves is comfortable and not scratchy. It is so light you barely realize you are wearing it and it packs down to practically nothing, which is good for backpackers or ultra runners. So far, the only bad thing I can say (and it's not a deal breaker by any means) is that it doesn't have any pockets. I am 5'4", 140 pounds and I got a size large. I generally wear size medium to large in athletic type tops. I could probably have worn a size medium but this fits nicely over other layers, which is how I wanted the fit. I got this on a super clearance price, which made the deal that much sweeter.
