The GoLite Men’s Ether Jacket weighs only 4.1oz and stuff into it’s own internal pouch. Basically, you can bring it on any trip and not even notice. You sure will appreciate this thin DWR-coated jacket when the wind picks up and light rain starts falling. GoLite even used anti-static fabrics to keep this jacket from clinging to your base layers.

Great Windshirt

Rating:****

This windshirt goes anywhere I do, regardless of the season. Combine it with a thin or midweight base layer and it becomes a lighter replacement for a softshell jacket in milder conditions. The cut is athletic, and the neck smartly bellows out at your chin to increase ventilation. Also, GoLite's current version has a full-zip front, as opposed to its older quarter zip models - again, for increased ventilation.

The jacket is very breathable, but as with any breathable fabric, don't expect miracles. I have sweated it out while running, but it dries very fast. I have used it as a shell layer against mosquitoes with good success.

I would have given this five stars, except for the fact that I pulled out the sewn-in attachment that held the hood closure neatly inside the hood. The hood is still functional.

No frills jacket that cuts the wind.

Rating:****
A basic no frills wind jacket that performs as advertised. There is one small pocket that functions as a stuff sack. The packed size is very small. The blue jacket is much lighter in color than appears in pictures on the internet. It is not very masculine. Overall this is a nice, light jacket that cuts the wind.

great rain jacket

Rating:****
This is a great jacket for wind and rain, but layering is required as the temp drops.
