"I do like these windbreakers. I prefer the lightweight, but midweight isn't bad. I wear a padded hip belt, which makes me want the hand pockets higher up so I can get to them while wearing the padded hip belt. Maybe move the chest pocket, so I can get to it while wearing the sternum strap. Maybe do this with all items that have hand pockets and / or chest pockets. I wore a medium in the lightweight, and the medium in the midweight is rather large."
"Great quality and thickness of fabric, 5’10” 175lb athletic build, medium fits great with room enough for layers underneath."
"This is the second one I own. Loved the first one so much I thought I would have a different color. Light weight, fits well, great outer layer."
"Please come back out with lightweight version. It’s nice, but I do prefer the fit of the lightweight version. Also, please raise the hand pockets so they sit above the padded hip belt. Like a FS windbreaker, but a bit more breathable."
"Absolutely love this jacket. So durable and stretches. My go to travel jacket. I sprayed with DWR to make it super water repellent. Stool breathes beautifully."
"Just so so good!!! The only & super minor complaint is that it is a pet hair magnet but maybe that’ll chill out once it’s worn a bit?"
"First usage, pre 5K race but it was too warm to wear in the race. Two days later I left on a Lake Superior Circle Tour starting in Michigan, up I-75 into Canada. I have worn this as an over garment with my down vest for three days straight and am very satisfied. Good in light rain and wind. This is a winner."
"A great shell! Repels water, blocks wind and is very comfortable to wear. And it's made in the USA!! I didn't really need another shell but I'm glad I made the purchase. I wear it while rucking and around town running errands. I'm 5'11", 160#, thin/athletic build and the medium fits like a glove. I can comfortably wear the GORUCK long sleeve merino top underneath. Anything much thicker than that and I would probably have to go up to a large. The main zipper seems a bit sketchy as it's not very smooth but so far it hasn't let me down. I'd definitely buy another!"
"Excellent lightweight fabric. Runs slightly large—if you are between sizes, pick the smaller size. A little pricey, but GORUCK products are super premium and durable, so I think the price is justified."
"6’2” 225 Athletic build, I am in between sizes. But only in the arms. Length and forearm. But the Large works with just a T short and XL for more layers. I love it, wicks moisture like nothing else. Drys stupid quickly. Rucked in a heavy downpour for about an hour. Kept me dry. That aspect may fade with multiple washes. But it dried in 20 mins. Crazy."
