"Had mine for 3 years. It is light weight so I carry it on all hiking/backpacking trips. It is water proof as you would expect. But I consider it a great wind breaker as well. When hiking you can open the pit zips to allow more air to flow. I wore mine on the top of Kilimanjaro over my fleece as a gr …"  Read Full Review »

"I ran a 6 hour adventure race yesterday (running, biking, bushwacking) in a 40degF downpour. This jacket performed perfectly. The only moisture inside was my own.
