Light weight, blocks a light wind, hood protects back of neck and some of the face.

I use this outdoors to reduce need for sunscreen on my face, neck, and arms. And love it. Its not super rugged or heavy duty but has not frayed, stretched, or worn down yet. Cool enough for a warm day and helps wick a little sweat. Warm enough to help take the edge off a mild day with a slight breeze. (Does not have any insulation- not a jacket.)

It packs down fairly small and has earned a permanent place in my go do stuff outside pack.
