Had this jacket for a few years and have loved everything about it. Took it mountaineering on Mt Adams and wore it riding the icy glissade route down 2,000+ feet. The abrasion of the ice rubbed off much of the fabric on the inside of the back area, so no my jacket is now trashed. My rain pants were un-affected. Would still recommend as it has been awesome for skiing, hiking, backpacking, mountaine foxwren · moosejaw.com

Am in LOVE with this jacket! Just took at a 10 day tour mont blanc trip and it was perfect. Used for rainy days as well as a "wind breaker" on the high passes. Comfortable, light and with just a bit of stretch to make it feel barely there. HPVT · mountainhardwear.com
