Great jacket for running!
This jacket is perfect for cold weather running. Easy to layer over and breathes well. I am very pleased with this jacket.

Fantastic Performance!
Great for cutting the wind. Just beware, there are no side hand pockets, just the one on the back. Thumb loops don't seem very durable, but they haven't ripped on me yet, even while using them on several pitches climbing.

Active wear for all seasons!
Versatile soft shell for any outdoor aerobic activity. Athletic cut, light weight, stretchable, breathable fabric with WINDSTOPPER can be worn with or without base layer. Adjust the base layer to fit your body temperature comfort level. Has worked well for me in northern Wisconsins temperature extremes. A good addition to your active wear wardrobe.

Just what I was looking for
The MH Transition jacket is now my favorite for cool/cold weather aerobic activities like biking, running, or nordic skiing. The N2S Windstopper does a great job of keeping the wind away and breathing well. I sweat a lot and so it gets a little wet but works better than other breathable materials I've tried. I'm 5'9"/175 and the medium fits me just right. It does have a slim cut. I like the thumb loops, but if my hands were any bigger they would be probably be a bit snug. I can't use the thumb loops under my cycling gloves because the hand coverage is a little too bulky. The hood is an under the helmet hood and does fit tight around your head when the jacket is zipped. The hood doesn't roll up, remove, or stow in any way. The one pocket in back has been enough, but I don't plan to use this jacket for anything other than exercise. I would use this as a shell for temps 20 - 50F, or as a mid layer for alpine skiing in much colder conditions.

Just great!
It does deserve the Outdoor prize for gear of the yaer. I biked to the gym and back in 50F and heavy rain, no problem. Over the weekend I biked on a sunny 70s windy day, no problem. You can wear a tee underneath or bare skin, feels like a second skin.
