This jacket gets top marks
I had a much earlier version (15 years ago) of this jacket, but the wristbands were too tight to check my watch and the waistband was a little too cinched up, but the weight of the jacket and the fabrics always made me think it was a good product. So, I recently checked the website to see what's available now and ended up ordering the Symmetry II after seeing that the wrists have been updated to an adjustable Velcro and the waist is cut straight down. I am NOT disappointed. This jacket checks every box. I can wear it with a heavier layer (like today when we had 30 degrees w/ 30 mph winds) or with a lighter layer when it's not so cold and the jacket just does what it's supposed to do. It cuts through the wind and keeps me warm with vents that air it out a bit. I just can't say enough. If I had more than two thumbs, I'd give it all the thumbs up!
Excellent Quality
Excellent quality at a great price. Runs a little small, so I was glad I ordered the large size.
Great jacket and experience.
I called the company to get information on sizing on this jacket. The women I spoke to was very helpful and new the correct answers. I didn't want to order the wrong size and have to return it then reorder. I then ordered the size she told me and it arrived two days later. It fits perfectly and I love it. Will get good use this summer on our trip to Alaska.
Superior Jacket
This jacket did not disappoint..... like all the other Sporthill products that I own and have given as gifts to friends. It is easy to wear and provides the ultimate protection from wind and the wet elements. I am sworn to buying only Sporthill when looking to improve my outdoor gear. If you take good care of them, they last for years! Cold wash and air dry (which is quick) and you're good to go. Keep new products coming our way. THANK YOU!!!!!
Fantastic Jacket !!
Like all Sporthill products, this jacket does NOT disappoint. Sizing is great. Product quality is fantastic. This is the PERFECT winter running jacket for Oregon's weather. I started out with just a long-sleeved shirt underneath, and though the temps ranged from 41º to 53º during my workout, I was completely comfortable throughout. In even colder temps, I can wear a slightly heavier shirt underneath and will still be comfortable. Exceptionally well made, great design, and all that you could ever hope for in a outdoor/ exercise clothing purchase.
Solid jacket for winter running
It seems impossible but this wind-breaker style jacket really does the job of a heavier layer without the bulk. On a run in 4 degrees, I wore one base layer turtleneck and this jacket on top and was warm enough but not overheating. I'm taller and have broad shoulders; usually I'd take a large but for this style I went with an XL.
Love this running jacket.
This running jacket is lightweight and decieving. How could this keep you warm in Michigan winters? But the jacket keeps the warmth in and make the run enjoyable.
Alpine Touring
I wore this jacket in the Lake Tahoe area while Alpine Touring. It was one of those days that it was 70 degrees in the sun and 40 degrees in the shade, I had no problem being comfortable. It was also perfect for when I was sweating while climbing up the mountain to transitioning to downhill, and great move ability. I highly recommend, and you can't beat the quality for the price point.
Best Purchase
Had a wardrobe malfunction last night with the zipper breaking on my old coat. So I bought a new jacket to finish the run. The Symmetry II was comfortable from the time I took it off the hanger, fit great, looks good, and is ready for the North Dakota winter. Best Purchase in a long time! Thank you.
