good but misrepresented

The fabric is a lighter gray shown in the picture- a tad darker than the picture of the "steam" hoodless shift softshell. The blue (the background of the current backcountry.com header) zippers add really pretty contrast. By helmet compatible, they must mean people with helmet-HAIR or fits under a helmet, I can't imagine fitting even a super-low volume helmet under the hood. Seems very well constructed though, backcountry.com stuff runs slightly on the small/slim side (what, backcountry enthusiasts are thinner than the average American? No way...)

Great jacket

This jacket is great for nordic skiing, and I am looking forward to using it while skinning up for backcountry skiing. I wear a small in most things I buy (I'm 5'5" and about 120 lbs), but I got a medium in this jacket because the sleeves and length were a bit short on the small. The medium fits great, and I definitely recommend this jacket.

I am in love with this jacket! I'm 5'4" and 125, athletic build, with a somewhat shorter torso. The fit is perfect, and looks like it was made for me. It has a very flattering feminine fit and the colors are great. I especially love the blue zip

too short

I'm 5'6.6" and 120 and got the medium. It fits nicely throughout and the sleeves are plenty long, BUT its TOO SHORT. A good inch or two shorter than the men's version. I suppose this is good for style, but not functionality. I commute on bike through the winter and don't want a cold mid-drift. I will be returning and trying the men's version.

great

I agree, I expected this jacket to be darker. Apart from that though, I love it. I wear it all the time; its comfy and lightweight enough that you can forget you have it on. But it can also keep you warm when it gets pretty chilly. I have worn it when it's in the forties and been alright, though I would suggest something warmer for that temperature. But really, it's great. I highly recommend it, and am actually wearing mine right now. happy trials!
