From Backcountry.com:
"Incredibly durable, abrasion-resistant, and windproof, the Mountain Hardwear Men's Alchemy Jacket is a cut above other softshells and considered the flagship item of the company's outerwear line. Using Mountain Hardwear's Alchemy Stretch fabric with brushed inner fleece and stretch Polartec Power Shield panels in key areas, this jacket has the "soft" part covered. But it's in the "shell" portion where Alchemy really kicks ass. Alchemy employs a 100%-windproof laminate (Gore WindStopper) to nix wind chill, drastically reducing heat loss. In addition, the combo of a durable, tightly woven outer surface, the WindStopper membrane, and a superior durable water-repellent finish gives the Alchemy the ability to resist water penetration in a way other softshells can't do. This jacket sheds snow and rain in all conditions short of a downright deluge. The Alchemy has a trim fit that molds to your body's contours and stretches for excellent comfort and freedom of movement. Loaded with technical features like welded pockets and one-hand adjustable cinch cords the Alchemy answers the demands of rigorous outdoor activities like alpine/ice climbing and backcountry skiing with style."

The cuffs are tight, the fit great and it's completely windproof. Not waterproof, but resistant for the first year or so."
