When the snow comes, use the Windstopper Tech as a breathable mid-layer under a waterproof shell."

"I have to say that I love this jacket. It is such a great jacket for many temperature conditions. I love the large pit zip that help extremely to vent heat. I have worn this in many temperatures and have been just fine with it with no problems."

"I know everyone seems to love this jacket but, unfortunately it's not very high on my list. Although it fends off the cold winds extremely well it's far from a warm jacket. In fact it seems like it makes you colder due to the fabric which can feel hard at times."

"This is an amazing jacket. . .

I use this as my main jacket/coat for any conditions, and I have no complaints. If you are going to be out in some heavy rain, this won't keep you entirely dry, but you can just wear a light rain jacket over it. This jacket has kept me warm in sub-zero conditions easily with just an extra layer underneath."

"This jacket is all it's advertised to be. I went snowboarding in it as my outer layer (I had on 2 layers underneath) and it kept me warm.

I've also turned away from that other jacket company (initiils being NF) because seems the teens have taken it over."

Reviewed by Glyn Ashwood, Dec 18, 2006

"Why do I give this jacket such a low score? For one thing, it's too cold. This is due to the very light/thin layer of fleece, which is sandwiched to the windblock laminate. MH wanted to save weight, so they skimped on the fleece, thus the jacket is cold below 45 degrees or so."

"A great jacket as all other reviews have stated. My only issue with this jacket, is the pockets. If your hands are cold, and you got no gloves, the pockets don't do a whole lot. I'm not sure if they have the windstopper in there, either way, the pockets are not gonna be warm."

"This jacket is fine. It does what it is advertised to do, stop the wind. But I'm writing this from a mountaineering standpoint, where you travel and change/add layers frequently due to constantly changing conditions. This jacket is great if you go out for a clear/dry day and know you won't be needing a waterproof/watershedding shell."

"Best jacket of its type. If you can afford it, then buy one. (If you can't afford one, then suggest it would make a good present. )

Keeps out weather nicely; if you must wonder about what jacket to take this one will deal with the broadest range of conditions."

"The Windstopper Tech is certainly 100% windproof (and waterproof I might add -- not a single leak while held under the faucet). If the wind is blowing, your core will have no idea. That all being said, the jacket is incredibley thin and lightweight."

"Excellent jacket. I like the "athletic" or trim fit rather than bulky or loose. The best fleece jacket I ever owned. Good ventilation from the long pit zips. Layers well under a parka. I like to layer it over Under Armor Cold Gear for really cold temperatures."

"This is the first Windstopper item I've ever owned, and it is great. This and just a short sleeve T-shirt do pretty well just below freezing. Any colder, throw on a shell and you're set. Because of the Windstopper I love to use it as my outer layer when I ski."

"Very good jacket. Have not tested in extreme cold situations, but I have been in some pretty extreme wind and the jacket did excellent.

Definitely a great jacket if you can justify the hefty price tag (got mine on sale 1/2 off)"

"This jacket is great. It is the most versatile piece of clothing that I own. It is my coat all the way from fall to spring, no matter what activity I'm doing. Its Windstopper membrane keeps you comfortable down to 15 degrees, and the huge pit zips (they strech from the elbow to the armpit) keep you well ventilated even when hiking and mountain biking."

"Great lightweight windproof jacket. Made of microfleece, so it's not bulky. Suprisingly thin but warm, because of the Gore-Windstopper. Articulated arms, long pit-zips for ventilation, lots of pockets, one-handed waist cords, and reinforced shoulders coated with DWR."

"If you have to have one mid-layer garment this is it. I have owned mine for almost nine months, and I have lived in it over the winter.

Best features: The cut. It is so well shaped, short enough to be out of the way, enough room to wear extra underwear if it is cold, and unrestrictive when climbing."

"I fell in love with this jacket the minute I took it out of the box. After a week of steady use, I can honestly say that this is without a doubt the best fleece jacket I've ever owned. It's very lightweight, and breathes well. You can wear it indoors without getting too hot, yet it will keep you warm in subzero temperatures."

"Windstopper fleece delivers. The jacket is bombproof in wind--real Sierra wind on the Carson Pass. The pants are really nice, fit great and are super warm with tights underneath. The vest is one MUST HAVE. It does so many things. My favorite is skiing with the vest and a light fleece, good to 20F with no precip. Light, warm, this stuff really works."

"The most flexible and full featured fleece I could find. Extremely breathable (I overheat doing anything more than sitting around. ) and more packable than normal fleece (200 wt). Plenty of pockets and good sized pit zips. The reinforcements are well placed on the shoulders and elbows/forearms."
