"Very light, comfortable and well fitted. Size M fits me nicely without feeling restrictive, and there is still enough room for a thin base layer underneath. The hood sits well and the material feels breathable. The blue colour looks even better in person. A very good lightweight layer for hiking and changing weather."
"This jacket insulates without overheating, I sleep in it every night when backpacking to avoid humidity in a sleeping bag (too hot). I wish they made pants to sleep in as well. Extremely light, even for UL hikers. Even for around the house it is great. Anyone can use this jacket for a multitude of uses."
"Dieser Midlayer ist ein absolutes Must-have für sommerliche Bergtouren und schnelle Aufstiege. Das Waffelfleece auf der Innenseite leitet Feuchtigkeit bei hoher Anstrengung extrem schnell ab und sorgt für eine top Ventilation. Trägt sich fantastisch direkt auf der Haut als ultraleichter Sunhoodie. Die Passform ist sportlich-körpernah (Athletic Fit) geschnitten, ohne einzuschränken. Die Kapuze sitzt auch unter dem Kletterhelm perfekt. Wer ein Maximum an Atmungsaktivität bei minimalem Gewicht sucht, wird hier fündig."
"Fantastic jacket with great design, high-quality materials, and excellent craftsmanship. One thing to consider is sizing if you plan to use it as a base layer. I prefer a closer fit, and the size L was a little too roomy for my build (176 cm, 72 kg). I then got a size M, which fits perfectly and works exactly as intended, super happy with it!"
"Pile leggere, traspirante e caldo in rapporto al peso. Per chi suda molto e ha caldo anche con temperature vicine allo zero quando si fa trail running lo consiglio."
"Felt a bit thin and flimsy at first but once you understand its insulation rather then wind resistance its the perfect mid-layer, smooth and thin under a hard-shell!"
"Good quality jacket, good looking too"
"Great layer!"
"Sehr dünner Stoff und dadurch transparent."
"Upon first try this has become my favourite technical fleece for the mountains. I tend to run warm, so this light mid layer is perfect for me. In summer it's enough for most alpine objectives alone, and if paired with Aenergy WB windproof - a super light set for most-but-the-worst conditions. In winter it's a great light layer under the down jacket. Sizing is generous. I usually wear size L fleeces and they tend to be a bit tight on chest and shoulders, but this L was perfect on shoulders, with a bit of free space on the torso, which isn't bad ventilation wise. The material doesn't slide up while climbing."
