Just like the title, a quality lightweight jacket with great functionality. Lots of thought and soldier input into producing this jacket. Keeping in mind, this is an outer layer/shell so there are little thermal properties, but it is full of pockets, vents and functionality. Will easily roll/fold and fit into a pouch to always have in hand. There is no hood, but those who know, know you don't need (get that hood off your head!) the hood ;-)
