Great jacket!

This jacket is terrific for cold weather. It’s lightweight and very warm. Typical of Kuhl, it runs just a little small but wouldn’t keep me frim ordering one again.

Incredible Workout Jacket

Wow--I run each day, and as it got colder (below 30-32), I needed a better coat that is both warm enough but also breathes enough to keep me cool as I heat up. This did a fantastic job at both. Love the fit and like the ample pockets for phone, etc. Great jacket

Great jacket for outdoor activity

While there are options that are warmer, this jacket seems to be the best option for me for any sort of outdoor activity that involves a fair amount of movement. It's not bulky at all, and the insulation is distributed well so that the heat is generated in the right places. I especially like the elasticity design in the arms.

Light Weight-Yet Brings Warmth

I really like this Jacket! Great for wearing when it is in the 40s Fahrenheit! If colder put a layer under it! Not bulky and it is wind proof! Doesn't bunch up while driving. Zippers on pockets. Happy with purchase!

First Kuhl Jacket

This jacket replaced a pair of jackets I've had for a long time. Both were wind resistant but quite old. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was totally blown away! This has the elements of a puffy jacket without the bulk. It's also very lightweight and stretchy. We have cold winters here so I may need to use a shell with it but for everyting el...

Possibly my best-ever Kuhl purchase!

The Aktivator jacket is the best technical outerwear I've purchased from Kuhl, keeping me comfortably warm but also not overheating me in variable conditions. I just completed a mid-April trip to Scotland/Northern Europe and this jacket handled all the weather variations perfectly. The fit is great and stylish and is designed with ample, large...

Cuts the wind

Very comfortable even though the size runs a little small. It cuts the wind well. Great to wear to early season baseball games.

Perfect middle jacket

When you need a jacket that’s not light nor heavy this is the one to choose. Perfect for those days in between days.
