During winter in the desert you get down to a low of about 35F, but usually around 45-50F with a cold north wind. I have been looking for a light jacket that can cut the wind, is warm enough to walk about a bit, and has a hood. This jacket fills the bill. Yes, it is a bit noisy from the thin 100 nylon outer shell, but thanks to the thin inner fleece liner, it keeps you warm. I have worn much heavier jackets that do not cut the wind like this one does. I find myself going to this jacket more and more on cold mornings. The only problem I have with the jacket, is that the zipper can catch on the nylon, so you have to be careful when zipping. A real find.
