I have never used a 'windcheater' before, because I always felt that for a little more weight/bulk I could bring a light waterproof jacket. After a lot of thought (these are expensive!) I decided to get one and it has been a game changer for me. A super light and packable jacket that (unlike some of the reviews) does not feel at all like a 'bin bag' to me. The material is nice and surprisngly soft Kevin · arcteryx.com
