I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

About the size of a football field folded a million times 🙂

The hood does not fold up into the collar. The entire jacket "folds" up into one of the side pockets.

The XLT would have a sleeve measurement of about 38;, neck 17.5-18 --chest measurement 46-49" and waist 40-43".

Not fleece lined I would consider this a warm weather jacket only. It is very European cut so unless you are very slight in build I highly recommend going a size up if you want to wear a lining. I am a natural med/lg with average shoulders and chest and the large is really too small for me especially if I am wearing a heavy shirt underneath. Keep in min if you are trying to keep any part of you dry from the waist down this is not a good jacket! Columbia has some rain pants and I think this is the top for those.
