This is a great jacket; comfortable light and stylish. I love that it's feminine without looking girly. The only drawback, and this is only a big one if you live in a rainy climate like I do, the toggle for cinching the hood close is defective.

I purhcased this jacket primarily for running and rowing in the Seattle area. The first day it rained I pulled the hood out and went to tighten the hood and the string pulled right out of the toggle with very little force. I assumed I had just happened to get the one defective one so I went back to the store to exchange it. Just to make sure I tested the toggle on another one in my size at the store and the string pulled out of the toggle on that one too with just the lightest of tugs. I tested another with the same result. It's impossible to fix this without mangling the toggle itself, so that is sadly not an option.

So if you need the hood this may not be the item for you, but if you live in a less wet climate this is a great little jacket.

This is a great jacket, perfect to run in. It's feminine without being girly. I would have given it 5 starts if not for what would probably be minor defect if I didn't live in an area where it rains all the time. When i went to use the hood for the first time as soon as I pulled the elastic cord to tighten it, it broke pulling the bead off and leaving the cord dangling and in peril of pulling back through the hood. After unsuccessfully trying to thread the cord back into the toggle I went back to the store to exchange it. I tested the cord on the one they had left in my size and that one pulled out of the toggle as well with the gentlest of tugs. I tried the same thing with another size yielding the same result. For me this is a big deal due to the climate where I live, but if you don't need a functional hood then this is the jacket for you.

This was the fourth jacket I've tried out, and it's a keeper. It's nice looking, fits well (small for size 6 frame), and has all the features I wanted: stowable hood, mulitple pockets, light weight, thumb holes, and some others. I haven't used it in a heavy rain yet so I can't say how it would stand up to that, but in cool, damp weather, it's been great.

I stopped into a Road Runner store this week and bought this jacket. The woman that helped me, Katherine, was so helpful and friendly. She started to tell me how this jacket has some vents in the front and back which is perfect for running in California and it just so happens that my favorite color was yellow. I'm glad I went with her recommendation because I love the jacket and it's perfect for those days that are just a little too chilly to go out without a jacket. Thanks Katherine!
