Super packable and very durable, the featherweight Virga offers less fuss and more fun with an elasticized hood and hand pockets. It's the ultimate in ultra-lite storm protection for all your fast-packing trips and ultra-lite travels."

From Backcountry.com:
"Thanks to its 2.5-layer Alchemy fabric, the GoLite Men's Virga Rain Jacket gives you total waterproof breathable weather protection while weighing only nine ounces. All superfluous features have been stripped from the Virga Rain Jacket to keep weight to a minimum. GoLite included only a fully adjustable hood and two hand pockets. Anything more just seems like bells and whistles to true weight-obsessed backpackers."

"I have recently made the effort to go light with my gear. So I researched and studied to get the best equipment. I soon found the GoLite Virga rain jacket and hastily made the purchase, finding much confidence with gear bearing the GoLite name.

I just completed a 55 mile Appalachian Trail hike in Nantahala NF."

"Very good jacket! Good for rain protection or as a wind jacket. Lightweight and easy to pack down small.

This jacket can get a little damp on the inside if you are hiking as all waterproof jacket can. Adjust ventilation with the zipper if it is not raining."

"Just completed a 113 mile trip on the Continental Divide Trail in Colorado in 4 1/2 days. The Virga was worn every evening in camp as a windshell and during the rainstorms. I was impressed with its breathability and packability.

On day 4 I got caught on an exposed pass by a driving rain storm."
