Lightstream Full Zip Hoody

The lightstream has completely surprised me. I bought this as a midlayer for skiing, but it has become my daily jacket when summer is up. I love the cut of the jacket specifically how it covers the neck and chin while not getting in the way. The duck tail is also great for style but has a dual function of keeping your bottom warmth on the lift! The weight completely took me by surprise too. Since it wasn't down I was expecting a decently weighted jacket. But this one feels like nothing when on. It perfectly breaks through wind and lets nothing in while allowing to still be breathable. Easily packs down to fit in any expedition or work bag and is not out of place in the city. I got this in khaki and highly recommend.

This item is a perfect mid-layer for cold weather touring or whatever you wish. It's more breathable than the comparable Patagonia item, which I still like for climbing (no hood, marginally warmer), and works better if you want another hood in reserve. It's a great system piece in conjunction with Beringia's base and outer layers, and as long as you take the very soft hand of the fabric into account and pair it with layers that move smoothly outside or inside it, offers more freedom of motion than anything comparable. Fit is true to size. If you like longer fits, for more layers underneath or will use for under a climbing harness, larger may be better to facilitate high reach. Impeccable quality and style as always.

The jacket is way softer then it appeared on your web site. I was not expecting the comfort and smooth style. I am consistently running around from inside to outside and this coat is super warm and also super light so I dont get hot/cold like I normally do. Plus it looks sweet on the street!!

I honestly have not taken off this coat since I received it two weeks ago. It is so soft and buttery and warm. And really impressed with the stretch and flexibility. Can really use this thing for any activity.

I just love how soft and light the jacket feels, very surprised to see the side pockets were higher than usual and kept keys and wallet from bagging out low on my waist. This was not described on the website. Was so functional with a back pack waist strap. Nice small detail. I used it for 1 hike and 1 ski tour so far and its living up to its claim of high breathability. I wore it directly over a tee shirt and never over-heated. I think this will be my go-to, for all but the coldest days. Might be too warm to wear under a shell as a combo, but I m loving the movement and stretch.
