Wm’s Summerset Jacket

I was surprised by how well this fit me, and how many uses I got out of it. This super breathable, water and wind repellent softshell piece was super light, perfect for spring and summer activities. I used mine mostly for cycling, as a mid-layer underneath my hard shell, for running, and general commuting. The piece stood up well as an outer layer, repelling the wind and water, yet allowing me to breathe (no sweat). The piece actually looks great on too, so it’s a good add on idea for someone looking at investing in a jacket that they will wear for 60% of the year. Two super soft hand warmer pockets made this jacket irresistible, and I wore it fairly frequently, mainly walking to work. I appreciated the hood cinches, which meant I could draw the hood in to cover my face when the wind became severe. The jacket has lots of movement, and so works really well for athletic purposes. It is also sized specifically for women, so is not only technical and efficient, it also looks good. – Sarah Stillman
