Reviewers say this jacket is notably warm for its weight, packs small and has an athletic, tailored fit with room to layer, using it as a midlayer under a shell for hiking and skiing and on its own around town. Most find it true to size, though one tall reviewer found the shoulders tight and sleeves short. Opinions on the tall collar are mixed: two like it, while one found it touched the face and another had the neck lining fray from a beard.

"Haven’t had a chance to wear this yet, however I have one with the hood and love it. Warm and room to layer under it. I wear XL and love the freedom of movement it gives."
"Great jacket for those cool, but not crazy cold days -- which is when I appreciate not having a hood. I really like the new cuffs. Two recommendations for future versions: (1) internal zip pocket for keys or stuff you cannot risk falling out of the hand pocket and (2) either 1 inch longer sleeves or more shoulder room. At 6' 2" with a + ape, the medium jacket fit is great until I raise or extend my arms. Regardless, I would buy again!"
"Nice jacket, resist water and does good job keeping wind out. Keeps me warm in 30 degree temperatures with light weight under layer. Not too bulky to use as layer under gore-Tex coat. Only disappointment was color of inside of jacket. Bought Iron Red, be wear the inside color is orange."
"Top base layer puff for multiple activities. Extremely high quality stitching and down packing pattern, fits great. I’ve used for hiking, skiing, and everyday wear."
"Good jacket, plenty of warmth for such a lightweight piece. Very handy that it packs down so small as well. Smart enough to wear to the office and practical enough to wear on a mountain."
"Great insulation piece for under any shell. Fit is standard and well designed. The cuffs are very well designed and work perfectly. Can be an everyday around town piece as well. . . Great addition to have in the bag of layers."
"Fits good, for reference I am sure 6'2 / 215 LBS. Loved this jacket, seems well built, durable, warm, but there is one dealbreaker. The collar is really high and is very annoying to the point that I decided to return the jacket. It constantly touches your face and it also looks weird, like Dracula's cape. Lower the collar to standard height and this jacket will be perfect."
"Warm as inner jacket for winter and as stylish outer for fall."
"The Solution 2. 0 feels well constructed with an athletic fit (ie not bulky or baggy), making it a great mid layer under your shell on cold days. Around town, it’s a great grab-and-go jacket."
"Fits well under a storm shell. Comfortable over a wide temperature range on its own"
