It is very lightweight and comfortable. The hood is great and fits under a helmet. The main difference vs the regular Borealis is a single chest pocket instead of two stomach pockets. It feels a bit tight as a 3rd layer (baselayer + fleece + Borealis), but totally fine as a 2nd layer (baselayer + Borealis). Very thin, so likely suitable only for warm weather.
