FIT
This jacket makes a girl look really good, even when you''re not currently at your optimal weight or shape.

I wear a medium in the Cascade jacket line from Icebreaker, but a large in the Cascade vest. I guess they design their jackets to allow for slightly thicker layers underneath. Since I only wear one thin to medium layer under my jackets medium worked better for me.

I am 5''6", 140 lbs, and around 36DD in the bust, waist 31, hips 39. The medium gives me a really snug fit without being too tight. If you like your jackets loose you can go up a size.

FUNCTION
I wear this beneath my Ibex Pez in very cold weather...down to about 20 degrees as long as it is not too windy. This combination keeps me very warm and I don''t feel puffy or weighed down. It also allows me to strip layers as needed.

On warmer days, I just wear the Pez out.

I do wish they''d placed the third zipper on the chest (this is where is is placed on the Cascade vest) as I find the sleeve pocket less convenient and harder to zip up and down in a hurry. I usually hold the end of the sleeve with one hand and then zip with the other. I didn''t take any stars off for this because this is a preference thing.

Kudo''s to SwimOutlet for offering it at such a great sale price.
