I have the same one in a different color. The front of the jacket keeps me warm and the cold wind off my core and the stretchy fabric on the back lets me be flexible and vent. The tighter collar and cuffs are great at keeping my neck and wrists warm and the two interior pockets (because it has no exterior pockets) are perfect for my phone and a pair of gloves. I use this as the perfect mid layer under my shell for snowboarding and as the outer layer when snowshoeing or running in frigid temps. I love that it doesn't have a hood because it would just get in the way and flap about.
