I'm 6' 3", 190 lb and this jacket fits me perfectly. The sleeves are long enough and the hood is great. Great for layering or for wearing alone when temperatures are cool.

Pretty comfortable and light. Perfect for misty morning hikes and crisp days. Runs bigger than it's listed size which isn't a bad thing per say.

This is my go to Soft-Shell for mild Cross-Country ski days. It’s great to be layered or worn alone. I love its breathability and wind resistant especially early mornings on the mountain. I had it layered with merino wool all the way down to -40 and was skiing without issue.

The hoodie is nice, lightweight, and water resistant, I’ve used it spring skiing when it was snowing, and have been in light rain with it. It’s not all that windproof but is water resistant pretty decently. It has some cool tech for contact points built in, it feels a little more synthetic than I thought it would, super stretchy and very lightweight. It’s nice if you’re looking for almost a daily shell to wear 3 seasons

Let me start by saying this. I love the Ferrosi and the idea behind it. I feel like if they changed a few key aspects this would be a 10/10 hoodie. It breathes and blocks wind amazingly. You can wear this as an outer layer and only a few base layers underneath and stay warm in harsh conditions. However it falls short in terms of Durability. It pills like crazy. I had to get it warrantied 3 times because of how badly it pilled. The newest replacement is ALSO pilling. Not great. Another thing they absolutely must change is the hem draw string lock. It doesn’t stay in place and I constantly have to retighten it. If they fixed these two things then the Ferossi hoodie would be near perfection. I would also like some kind of Velcro around the sleeves. Maybe a climber variant too that is more harness compatible.

This jacket is somewhat misleading as it is very very light. Id consider most sweatshirts warmer than it. But it does great for what is was made for. It is extremely stretchy and would be great for layering on a hike. It also fits snug so if you plan to wear many layers under Id go a size higher.

I really enjoy this material and the stretch it gives. Tons of uses: gym, walkabout town, Florida in November, shell over down, New Mexico summer nights or August winds, and early morning range days. I appreciate the extra attention to detail in the areas where someone would have a lot of contact or friction like carrying a pack.

I was about to sell my old ferrosi hoodie for a new one but glad I read the reviews about durability. I have owned ferrosi stuff for close to 10 years. The old stuff is still in great condition. Anything I have bought in the last few years-- shorts, pants, etc all have terrible durability. My shorts are wearing through just from the seat belt in the car. Ridiculous. I've noticed a lot of brands that use recycled materials for their soft shell clothing are all suffering from the same shortcomings. What is the point of using that material if you have to keep replacing it? Seems to be creating more waste. Counterproductive. I'll keep the old stuff as long as I can.

Perfect softshell! I have been using it for daily commute, rock climbing and everything in between. It breaths nicely and cuts the wind just enough to protect you from the element. The fabric is nice and stretchy. With a base layer or insulated jacket under it, it is really versatile. Everybody can benefit from that product. Jacket is true to size

This was advertised as a soft shell jacket. When it arrived I was at first disappointed and it was very thin jacket and not like a typical soft shell jacket. Afterwards I wore it as a base layer and I learned to love it. Its similar in thickness to a merino base layer.

Old Ferrosi is one of my all time favorite jackets (from like 2017 or thereabouts). This iteration is bad. I can just echo the other negative reviews in that it isn't as durable as my old model (still kicking after heavy use for 7 odd years), and while I initially like the idea of the dura print, they could have made it just as effective while there is infinite room for aesthetic improvement. Also my one grip from the old jacket, which they still haven't addressed, is the complete lack of structure in the hood/brim. If I'm not wearing a ball cap or sunglasses, the sides of the hood droop down next to my eyes for a poor user experience. Stop trying to appease shareholders and just make good gear.

It fits nicely, is sleek and comfortable. I can move around easily, and as an outer layer it offers exactly what I need.

This used to be a good jacket but as the other reviews have said the recent versions of this jacket have been pretty poor. Thinner material, more piling, loose cuffs, wind resistance isn't as effective as it used to be. Plus the "duraprint" looks terrible. Also, the black colour isn't even exactly black, it's more like a dark navy blue.

Jacket is light weight and durable looks great……..

The older version of the ferrosi is maybe my favorite jacket of all time. I just got this one in the mail to replace an old one, and I'm disappointed. The drawstrings at the front of the hood are gone. The elastic at the cuffs is thinner/weaker. And the "duraprint" looks awful. OR used to have something special. But they ruined it with marketing gimmicks and with what I'm assuming cost-cutting measures.
