Once you're moving and warming up, extra-long pitzips help regulate your temperature."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Stout weather protection that packs down small when the sun reappears, the Mountain Hardware Men's Epic Jacket is ideal for superlight backcountry trips. The Conduit Silk waterproof and breathable coating has a smooth, dry interior feel, while pit zips and venting mesh front pockets allow for plenty of air circulation when pushing on to high camp with a full backpack. The attached ergonomic hood has a one handed, single pull, adjustment system, making it easy to operate when wearing gloves or mitts."
From RockCreek:
"The Epic Jacket by Mountain Hardwear is a fully waterproof and incredibly breathable rain jacket made with Conduit technology. The Conduit membrane contains a mixture of "water loving" and "water resistant" materials that pull water vapor through the barrier but keeps liquid water from penetrating the exterior. This breathability prevents moisture vapor from condensing, allowing you to stay dry and comfortable. The Epic Jacket is also superlight with an attached roll away, Ergo hood with integrated collar allowing for you to adjust one handed, especially important while belaying or using your other hand. The Ergo hood moves with you, preserving your field of view when looking right or left."

At first, I was a bit weary with the build quality because it is very thin and very light, but trust me, do not worry about this because I took the combination skiing with me as my outermost layer and it did excellent, even though I had a couple big tumbles (let's face it, who doesn't)."

The overall construction a solid exterior rip-stop material with an inner layer almost welded to it. That inner layer is on the other side of the taped seams, so you get double the protection there."
