I would say the color is more purple than blue, but in less lighted room it may look blue. see the photo of the “tag” for best color presentation. Lightweight hooded jacket with full front zipper. Water-resistant nylon shell for outdoor use. Zippered hand pockets for secure storage. Reflecrive Arc'teryx logo on chest. Used, in like new condition. Measurement on hips 43”. I never dried this jacket in dryer, but the label shows its okay to dry in a dryer.
