Uniqlo Light Hooded Jacket

Never seen that. Fabric listed as Double DWR coated polyester. No weight spec.

My experience with their stuff is that it will be worth a $30 tryout, assuming your expectations are low for its performance as a windshirt (heavy and who knows how breathable/wind resistant). Get a color that goes well with your town wardrobe!

Out of curiosity I went to go take a look at my nearby store.

I think most here would like it very much. It seems to have similar breathability to my well used 2014 Squamish. I didn't have my scale but given the construction and feel it is should be well under 12oz, maybe lower than 10.

Fit is on par with other brands but slightly bigger at the hem than Patagonia 2014 sizing. Range of movement is ok for hiking, but climbers should steer clear or size up. DIY opportunity to cut out pockets and double layer hood for extra weight savings.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like it might be worth a flyer.

my buddy purchased one last time they had a sale, he said he's really impressed with it for the price. it's likely not going to replace any high-end jacket, but again for the money its a good daily beater.
