Great Lightweight Layer

This is very light and packable with nice hiking and backpacking features. I haven’t used it backpacking yet. I hope the thin fabric holds up to a pack. For the purpose of this jacket, it performs very well. It performs great in windy conditions, keeping wind and cold out. I purchased this on sale and with store credit. I would not have spent the regular price, which is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. However, I do believe all of the OV products I have purchased are excellent quality and perform their functions very well at reasonable prices.

Fantastic piece of gear

I had originally planned on keeping this windbreaker in my pack just in case it was needed while out hiking, since it's so light I'd barely notice it's there. But it has instead become one of my most-worn articles of clothing for the past week. Not only is it good for cutting down on the chill in windy conditions, I've found that it performs just as well as the rain shell I've been wearing lately when the rain starts pouring. And I'll be honest, it fits me a heck of a lot better, too -- I've already gotten several compliments on it! If you're on the fence about buying it, I'd say just go for it. It fills a very important niche in my gear -- it's hard to argue against the utility of something you can reach for that'll give good protection from wind and rain that is so light and breathable you barely notice you're wearing it.

As advertised!

Light as a feather but keeps me warm when needed. Wish I would have sized up. As with all OV products, size up!

Amazing piece of kit!

I am blown away by how thin and light this jacket is and yet keeps me amazingly warm, but not too warm, even with just an altitude sun hoodie underneath. This is a game changer piece of clothing for my backpacking set-up. Highly recommend!
