Could have been better

After reading about the jacket, I decided to purchase one in Utility Blue. I found it at 50% off, so I got a good deal. Sizing, as with everything from Patagonia, is odd. I had to size down and take XL even though I am 195 cm and 110 kg. I don't see how this jacket could be used for some serious mountaineering activities; the durability and the quality are just not there. After 10 days of only streetwear, some threads on my sleeves started to come loose and break. This is a light and rather warm jacket that can sustain some light rain and wind, and that's it. Not intended for some serious mountain time. For me, this will be my transitional-period city jacket.

Advantages
Lightweight

Layer rather than jacket

Decent but not as warm as expected. More a layer than a stand alone.
