This is a great lightweight jacket that I primarily use as an extra layer on cooler mornings and then stash in the bag for the afternoon.
The styling and the fit are very good. The material is amazing in its lightness, breathability and skin-feel.
I was concerned about the stow-away hood being too bulky and creating a puffed collar, but it is surprisingly compact. I've also been surprised by how useful and comfortable the hood has been during light drizzles.
My only minor gripe has been with the external chest pockets, which are stacked one on top of the other. The side zip pocked is sufficient, but there is a button-flap pocket on top of it, with the flap sticking out a bit when I put a card case in the zip pocket. The flap location is also at bit annoying as it lines up with the strap of my messenger bag. It would probably be more useful to have an extra internal pocket on the other side instead of the flap pocket. Again, a minor gripe. Overall this is still a great super light jacket.
