I love the look of this jacket By A Girl and Her Dog from Chicago, IL on 11/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Hoped it would be warmer, Inadequate Protection, Not adequate alone Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Was excited about getting a good windproof shell. The jacket runs pretty small, and it doesn't block the wind or keep me as warm as I expected. I'm keeping it, because I love the look and color, but will have to use it as a layer rather than a stand alone for cold days.
Love it so much I want to sleep in it By horsedocmeg from puyallup on 11/17/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Economical- relatively, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Work or play outside Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a horse vet in the pacifc northwest, so I needed something both extremely waterproof and tough enough to survive. While I can't tell you about the longevity of this jacket, I can tell you the following:
So far, I love this jacket.
I am 5'4" and 135. I bought a medium, and it's perfect- alone, or over a fleece or other jacket. The back end of the jacket curves down to cover the back pockets of my jeans. Fabulous for bending down in a rainstorm and b/c it keeps my cell phone dry.
The quality of the jacket seems excellent.
My only thing is the metal zipper at the bottom seems hard to latch, and I often have to struggle to get it set right before I can zip up. This has happened to me before, so maybe it's me...
This isn't a "lightweight" jacket- i.e. not just a thin shell. It doesn't have any insulation, but it does have a nice lining. This makes it fabulous to wear- but maybe not fabulous to pack up and down a mountain. Depends on you, I guess.
The hood fits perfectly, and is adjustable. It can be zipped off, as well.
As far as waterproofness, I've already worn it in some deluges, and I've been bone dry. This winter will be a better test.
The fabric for the main body (the darker color), shoulders, sleeves, is of a higher denier than that of the underarms, sides (the lighter color), which is why I chose this jacket over its compatriot, the Chaos, in which those are reversed (I believe). It seems to me that it will hold up well against wear and tear.
For the price, this jacket is a complete steal. I carry it around like a baby.

No bells or whistles. It is a shell and therefore light weight. There are no pit zips. The hood does not detach. However, it is well made and I like the simplicity. I plan to wear it in the suburbs and in the country.
