Pacaya Lite -- really feather lite
Bought the seed color in Medium. Runs true to size. Photo green was a bit darker than the actual one. Would be good to see more colors as options. Fits well and i have been using it this spring for some of the local hikes in the bay area. So far so good. Will have to see how it holds up for the road ahead.

Awesome featherweight light layer
This jacket is great, it reminds me of the older version of this called the Paray but this one is a little more stretchy, the sleeves were a little baggy and longer than normal so I went down to a medium. The snap button is awesome for arm mobility for tennis and venting.

Light weight and comfortable
Very good for days in the 60s or to have handy for days in the 70s when it cools down.

Awesome light jacket
I absolutely love the fabric of this jacket, very smooth, silky, cool sensation on the skin with functioning hood. Having pockets are also a big plus (compare to the Houdini). I tried out similar “light” jackets from other brands, this is the softest by far. Would definitely buy again when they have extra small size and more color options.
Two reason for minus 1 star:
1. The sleeves are a bit long, even for size small. Hopefully Cotopaxi will produce extra small version in the future. I’m 5’6” and 130 lbs btw.
2. Limited color options. Part of what draw me to Cotopaxi is the color pattern of their products. They only have 3 boring (not bad, just boring) colors for this jacket.

Softest material ever
I don't know what dark wizard lord Cotopaxi made a deal with to find this space material, but it is the softest thing I've ever had on my body, and I've had literal baby faces on my body before.
It's so comfortable I want to wear it even when it's crazy hot outside, and unsurprisingly it's cool and cozy even then.
I bought one in all three colors available and no I'm not embarrassed about that in the least.

Well made and durable
Perfect for everyday use in the summer to block the sun and in the spring. The fit is perfect and the material is made with supreme material. Love, love love.
