Literally... I wear it every day. I wear it like most people wear a hoodie. I've taken it everywhere for 4 years now: over mountain passes, along glaciers, into a 3rd grade classroom, in downpours. I've worn it against my skin, as an outer layer, and as a mid layer, on a bike ride, to the gym- you get it.

I'm not saying anything new here. It's an amazing piece. I wouldn't leave home without it in any season. The only ding it gets is it snags easily; You don't want to bushwhack in this or it will get shredded. The nylon taffeta is easily penetrated by briers. That said, I've snagged it dozens of times but never damaged it so maybe I'm wrong.

I will miss this jacket when it goes.
