From Backcountry.com:
"The Montbell Men's Peak Shell Jacket weighs 11oz and features Montbell's three-layer waterproof breathable fabric for skiers, climbers, and hikers who value light weight but still want premium weather protection and breathability. The Breeze Dry-Tec blends light weight and a three-layer construction, which makes the Peak Jacket more durable than many two-layer shells out there. The fabric also boasts twice the breathability of many competing fabrics key for active alpine pursuits like climbing or ski touring. Before tackling the steepest section of uptrack or negotiating the crux, unzip the extra-long pitzips to ensure you don't overheat. The three-way adjustable hood fits over most helmets, while hook-and-loop cuffs and a waist drawcord seal out the elements."

Men's Peak Shell

"I used this jacket on the John Muir Trail in the late summer of 2009. At Silver Pass we got rained on for 24 straight hours. The jacket and peak rain pants held up well and kept me dry.

I also used them in the Grand Canyon in December of 2008 on a walk down South Kaibab to Phantom Ranch and back out Bright Angel."
