I took this windbreaker for its maiden voyage on a 16 mile hike on Mt. Takao in Japan and it was everything I needed! It kept me warm through the chilly, shaded forest paths, but was breathable and light when the sun came out and the heat picked up. I loved the front pocket - it was perfect for safely and conveniently carrying my lens cover. I find this cut to be super flattering, too, The slightly shorter than usual cut is adorable when paired with high waisted leggings. I also love the length of the sleeves; not too long to totally lose my arms in, but just long enough to have some finger coverage in the cold. This will definitely be my go-to early morning workout / hike outfit for all sorts of seasons and weather! Also, it was SO nice to be able to compactly pack this when I was trying to keep all of my wardrobe in one small suitcase for my international trip. Highly recommend as part of any traveler's capsule wardrobe!
