Light, functional, good fabric for drape, tough and good fitting cut.
Cons:
Expensive, not as breathable as you may think, not very insulated.
I like the cut of this jacket, fits well. Not all the bells and whistles and I like that."

The closest thing to a downside is that really heavy rain or wet snow will eventually come through."

Slightly stretchy, pretty waterproof, totally windproof, slightly insulating. The inside feels and insulates like a lightweight fleece. The outside feels like rugged nylon and sheds light rain, mist and snow. Elbows are reinforced, but even the non-reinforced areas feel very rugged."
