Perfect for layering, lightweight, warm for weight.  I live in Florida and purchased this top for a Feb. conference in Chicago, it packs well, I put it in my purse and was able to put it on, under my other shirt, at airport, carry on my lightweight all purpose coat, wrap scarf and gloves & was ready for the snowy, drizzly conditions at Chicago. I was able to adapt to all the temperature changes outside and in by layering with my regular lightweight clothing I wear at home without having to purchase special clothing for trip. I wore it almost every day, washed it out at night & hung in shower, it dries quickly. I really liked it.
