I'd be all over this if the hooded version in my size and colour preference was available - XL Kale zip hooded :(

How this is constructed is an important detail so I found this. I am am not sure if it is accurate. The Lycra content seems high but it might work depending on the weave. [main body] 100% polyester, DWR coating, [side & sleeve panels] 46% polyester, 38% merino wool, 16% Lycra, [lining] 100% merino. Does anyone have a helpful experience that would justify adding it a trip repertoire?

MasterRoHi MasterRo- The side and sleeve panels have Lycra in order to stretch and move with you when you're active in the garment. I have one of these Helix full zip garments and it works well as an outer layer, but also as a mid layer in more inclement weather. In the areas where the garment has 100% merino lining, there is no stretch, so by combining multiple fabrics, this garment is body mapped to enhance your range of motion so you're not feeling constrained. I hope that helps.

How this mid layer jacket compares to a 200 weight fleece jackets in terms of warmth and wicking?

MebaruHi Mebaru- This garment is WAAAAAY warmer than 200 weight fleece. It is insulated in strategic spots to keep your core warm without making you look crazy puffy like the Michelin man. What you are wearing for your base layer is where wicking happens. Proper materials and fit for your base layers is what will contribute to successful wicking performance, avoid cotton. Merino wool is my champion base layer fabric, although some prefer synthetic. The drawback to synthetics are that they stink and are petrochemical based (straight up barrels of crude oil)

redchiliThanks, I know a thing or two about layering :) In my experience, merino as a base layer isn't great for heavy activities. When it gets wet it stays wet. A thin quality synthetic base layer works better transferring moisture and keeping your torso dry.

In terms of warmth and size this seems perfect for my needs However, I tried a merino base layer before and it itched like hell I wonder, is there someone who has the same skin sensitivity and wears this as their mid layer?
