Cathode jacket blue - Outdoor Research Cathode Hoody - Men's

This piece is very sweet!!! Color is better in person then online, the only thing I have nickpicking is it is not very wind savvy and a bit over breathable. Extremely lightweight, packable, sits an inch too high on my waist but that's okay (gear rigging) pockets are a tad high (for wearing pack with a waist belt) and the hood a little large (to accommodate a helmet) this is my go to piece I can layer over it as well as underneath and wear it by itself on calm days. It beats a fleece I'll say that lol. I have gotten it wet and the water did bead up on it and it has been washed once with the nikwax my only concern, is I'm nervous about this mud stain I got on it from hiking; in effect that taking a stain stick or anything else might damage it. I did get the older baffle style and not the diamond pattern version. Still happy.
