Solution Hoodie - Women's

I have the Solution 2. 0 jacket and now the hoody. They are the perfect layer for me, as I tend to run cold. I’m mor of a “function over fashion” kind of gal, but the cut is very nice and less boxy than most insulated layers. The length is perfect and my midsection is still covered when I reach, as well as the arm length protecting my wrists in the same way. My favorite touches are the smooth elastic on the wrists and the soft lining in the pockets. I also have Reynaud’s, so softness on my hands is appreciated. I ran a spreadsheet of all possible midlayers across 14 companies and this one came out as the best option for warmth to weight ratio, fill weight in arms/body, and durable outer fabric. I am 5’ 7” and 134lbs - the Medium fits well, a bit roomy, which is preferred over being too fitted. Mostly using for hiking/backpacking as an outer layer and will use this winter as a midlayer under a shell.

Nice jacket. Good materials and construction. I am between a M and a L. Aside from chest measurements, I am a medium---glad I got the large. Even that is snug, so be aware if you want to layer. I'm quite short, so some petite sizing would be nice along with some sizing for larger bodies
