PRODUCT SUMMARY
By Ski Waheenie

THE GOOD
Freedom: The stretch fabric of the Tempo jacket truly allows me to move freely. After a winter of being bundled up, it feels good to be able to move my arms.

Lightweight: This jacket even gets to come along on overnight mountaineering trips!

Versatility: Although I'm personally biased toward this jacket for Spring skiing and mountaineering, it would easily fit the bill for cold weather running, skate skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking or really anything in any season. It's low profile even makes it possible to wear this jacket as a mid layer underneath a shell or down during the heart of winter.

Fit: Feminine. Sleek. Tapered arms (so the fabric doesn't get in the way while you are rock climbing or whatever). Nice length. Comfortable collar when zipped up.

Great Colors: I really like the selection! Red is great for photos...

Extra Features: Reflective Trim and Logo for nighttime running. Zippered pockets (including sleeve pocket). Headphone port.

THE BAD
No Hood: I'm a hoodie kind of a girl...

No Inside Pockets: A super simple catch-all pocket would be nice.

Small Zipper Pulls: These zippers don't even come close to passing the mitten test.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
At only $90, this jacket is a must have. It's extremely comfortable and versatile. You'll wear it every day.
