Reviewed by KS the Skier from Ashburn, VA on Sunday, March 31, 2013This jacket was excactly what I was looking for in a shell, thick 3 layer hardshell that was waterproof and totally windproof, well I didn't get to check the waterproofness, but the day it arrived in the mail we were having gusting cold winds and I tried it on and went outside and it was unbelievable, perfect, I thought this was the one, but it was two major problems; the sleeves are extremely short and it's very tight in the shoulder area, almost to the point of where it hurts, I ordered the large, I went to a local retailer and tried on the xl and it swallowed me. Mountain Hardwear needs to go back to the drawing board with this one, keep the quality and the style, but just extend the arms and shoulders just a hair. I'm 5'11" 200lbs average build, this jacket is designed for someone with a very small frame, if this is you buy it, the quality is excellent and this is true windproof, 25 degrees and 30mph winds and didn't feel a thing.

Reviewed by Wildman from NW Indiana on Wednesday, January 30, 2013Took out last night in driving rain. Late January temps were in 60s in Chicago area. Nylon pants were wet through,as were my shoes and socks. My core was absolutely dry! My Northface jacket is always wet from sweat when taking a vigorous hike at 60 degrees. This jacket had no moisture inside and I had it sealed up w/pit zips closed. Great product. Ypu get what you pay for. Glad I put up the money for this!

Reviewed by Jim from Northeast Ohio on Saturday, January 26, 2013I'm 6' tall and 150 pounds and purchased the large. The fit was very good but not quite long enough. I have a mountain hardware compressor that I wear underneath and it is a bit longer (sticks out on the back slightly). Also has no inner cuffs at the sleeve. Seemed like a super well made and durable jacket though. I was going to use as waterproof layer for cold weather backpacking.
