Great color and functionality.

The orange color is nice. I purchased this jacket for a core layer for backcountry skiing. I purchased a small so that it could be worn under a shell. It is a good fit for under a shell, but would not describe it as flattering to be worn on its own, at least for my build. (5'2" broader shoulders, 115 lbs.) It is slightly longer cut and close-fitting. Probably works better if you have a longer torso and narrow shoulders. Seems very functional for its intended use though. Sleeves allow for good movement, thumb holes great for skinning up when you want to cool off by removing your gloves. Effective layer for high intensity sports where you need a warm layer that will absorb sweat and provide freedom to move. Also light enough to easily carry in your pack to change into after you reach the summit.
Pros:
  • Great base layer for high intensity sports.
  • Color.
Cons:
  • Not the most flattering fit if you are petite.
Best Used for:
  • Backcountry skiing base layer.
Would recommend: Yes
