keeps the water and the wind out.
good fit.
Durable.
Underarm zippers please! I love this jacket but it would be ideal with underarm zippers. Its a good weight to be active in but it gets a little warm without the much needed zippers
Water resistant.
Comfortable!
Durable and easy to wash!
Velcro on the sleeves wear out...
The sleeves on mine were slightly longer than my arms which isn't a huge issue but doesn't always look the best when the sleeves are scrunched up.
The jacket is tough but breathable. Looks fashionable on the trail and on the streets. This thing REALLY stops the wind, its my first technical jacket and I really dig it.
It is not as warm as you probably want it to be. I think it it is fine in the 40s and 50s but not much colder.
This jacket has excellent wind resistance and water resistance. Its not quite a gortex, but good enough for if there is a slight down pour. Fleece lining on the insider keeps you warm. The only jacket I take backpacking, at night I just flip it inside out to get a soft pillow. Mesh on one side of the pockets allows for ventilation into the jacket.
The only bad thing about this jacket is that if it is really cold or windy out, and you have the hands in the pockets, some cold air seeps in because of the ventilation. So you loose a little heat. So just close the pockets and wear some gloves
