New version is softer and more comfortable but I feel the old one was better wind blicker
My opinion

I have the original version. It is very tight fitting but also very comfortable. It does block the wind really well but I feel like that’s about where the benefits end. I don’t feel like it keeps me that warm when I am cold but it also makes me sweat terribly when hiking. It’s a really nice jacket and I want to like it but just don’t use it much anymore. I much prefer a good wind blocking lightweight puffy.
