Reviewers describe the Women's Solution 2.0 as a warm, packable layer without bulk, used for hiking, skiing and travel on its own or under a shell. They like the sleek, well-tailored fit, good wind protection and warmth-to-weight ratio. Critiques center on fit: it runs large for some, a few found the sleeves short for longer arms, and one found it too thick to use as a mid layer.

"This jacket was perfect for my 3 day trek through the Sawbooths, ID. Early fall meant some serious swings in temp - days in the 70's, but waking up to snow on the peaks. It kept me warm in the cold and wet, fit was true to size (I'm a Small, 5'6 130lbs), and I love the red color. I look forward to seeing how it holds up over time - I'm not precious with gear."
"I took this as a mid layer to Iceland mid-October. Compared to my Colombia mid-layer, this performed much better. I was warm and protected me against the extreme wind. It protected my neck well, zipper was not annoying, and had enough space for a gator. Highly recommend!"
"Good quality build, fits well, light weight yet warm enough for NYC winter. Totally worth it."
"Warm jacket for layering or outer most layer on warmer, cold days!"
"Quality product. Attractive styling and the green is neutral but not dull. Warmth without bulk and packs down well. Easy online purchase and timely delivery."
"Perfext fit, color and weight"
"My wife has become stockier with adge, and her older jackets (mediums from various brands) no longer close comfortably on her. Black Diamond cuts its Large jackets slim enough that she can wear the large Solution Hoody and the large Treeline rainshell with comfort, and have it fit right across the shoulders and in the arms. Both size Large jackets allow some space for layering, and the added length (versus a medium) gives her mover coverage at the hips."
"Wore it on Pyrenees hiking trip; great protection"
"I sat on the fence for a while before buying this. I already had the Deploy 1. 0 jacket and thought they were too similar to be worthwhile. I’m so glad I finally caved in and bought it. I have broad shoulders, long arms, and a small torso. I’m 5’ 7” and 150 lbs athletic build. Size medium is perfect for me to put thinner layers on underneath without excess fabric on the jacket. I wore it recently with a hard shell on top on a typical PNW spring day - cold, rainy, windy, then sunshine, promptly followed by hail. I was outside all day in this jacket. I was perfectly warm, snug as a bug, without overheating while rappelling, climbing, and hauling gear in and out. On its own it’s a great jacket. If you’re looking for a lighter weight, mid-layer jacket or a cozy friend to add for shoulder season or cooler temp days, this is worth a solid look."
"Super light, super warm, throw out that old inflexible down jacket. Black diamond soft goods are goated and this is just another piece of the puzzle. Size m fit my 5'8" ~135lb narrow shouldered girlfriend perfectly. It's got the warmth of a down jacket but moves so much better. Cannot recommend more, especially if you can snag used or on sale."
