From Teton Village Sports:
"The men's Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket was the original catalyst for the soft shell revolution due to its unmatched versatility in constantly shifting situations. In the 10 seasons since it first took the outdoor industry by storm, this stretch-woven style has proven a liberating influence due to an active range that allows it to excel at any alpine discipline. The current construction utilizes schoeller dryskin extreme, which sheds weather, flexes freely and breathes at an elevated rate while surviving abrasion like no other textile. The streamlined design of the jacket features trim cuffs, a collar cordlock, skin storage pockets and our legendary bulkless fit. FEATURES Fabric: This highly functional stretch fabric with double weave construction is durable, air permeable, permanently elastic, water and wind resistant. The Cordura® and Nylon blend face offers excellent abrasion and hard wearing characteristics. The Cool Plus® backer offers a soft hand, and uses four-chamber fibers, which increase evaporation and speed up the drying process. NanoSphere®, a textile finish based on nanotechnology, provides excellent water, oil and grease repellency. Performance is maintained after 50 laundry cycles. 9% EL, 73% PA, 18% PES. 250 g/m2.

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."
