I bought this jacket after reading and watching a bunch of reviews online. I was going to get the Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody, but decided to go with this one, as it is much more affordable.
It is very lightweight, packs incredibly small when you squeeze all the air out and does a good job protecting you in moderate winds. On colder days you will still have to wear your base and mid layers to keep warm, as this jacket is just a paper thin layer of synthetic cloth and it is designed to be used in conjunction with other layers in your system.
The material feels very very thin and porous, which makes for good breathability i guess, but nevertheless the quality is there.
The chest pocket is small, you can fit a set of keys, a few credit cards or even a big smartphone, inside. My iPhone 8 Plus fits nicely, no problem closing the zipper.
The jacket features a hood as well, and the hood has a soft brim. Be sure to put the hood over your head before you zip up, because it's a little tight at the neck if you fully zip yourself up.
All in all, a fantastic little jacket, i still have to do a proper test in the field, but i can already see it will live up to it's hype and perform flawlessly.
