The most versatile jacket you will ever own, the Isis Phoebe for Women is ideal for just about any cool weather aerobic. Mountain climbing, cycling, trail running the fall, or Nordic skiing, worn alone or layered up, the Phoebe will soon become a key piece in your active wardrobe. A polyester ripstop shell blocks the wind and light rain, the brushed polyester lining insulates and wicks away moisture, and mesh underarm vents keep you cool when you start working up a sweat. A truly indispensible jacket, the Phoebe is an instant favorite.

A driclimb in disguise
I previously have owned several Marmot driclimbs. Seems like the sizing had changed and neither the womens or mens fit well. So, I tried the Isis Phoebe instead. It's a great jacket. Similar to the driclimb, but more stylish. I bought a size 6 (5'2", 115 lb). It is a perfect fit except a little tight around the chest/upper back. The only thing I would change on the jacket is the color of the inside - it's white which I imagine will be dirty white before too long. Overall an excellent jacket for skiing, hiking, or whatever when you need more than a wind shell and less than most coats.

Great!
this is a great jacket! I have several different colors and several of my friends have bought it too! You can run, ride and hike with it in warm weather (really lightweight) and in the winter I use it as a layer for skiing, snowshoeing or whatever you like. Its a backpacking type of item. Isis says they are not making it anymore, I'm bummed, so get it while you can.

Nice Light Weight Jacket
This is a cute jacket. The outer shell is super soft, however the lining seems cheap, its soft but snags on my "rough" hands. The pit mesh is awesome!!! Keeps me nice and vented on my trail runs. The only thing this jacket is missing is a bottom hem elastic pull to keep the wind out. Also the "drop-tail" isn't much if your are tall and petite. I'm 5'6"/125lbs and the size 4 just comes to the top of my hips in front and about an 1.5in below in the back, otherwise fits well.
