From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Men's G50 Jacket gives you the stretch, waterproofing, and warmth you need to complete a mixed ice route in stormy weather. Think a mixed ice route is some sort of mixed drink? No worries: this jacket is ideal for any outdoor activity where you need lots of mobility and burly water-resistance from hiking to fishing to skiing. The softshell Synchro SBT fabric features a breathable Conduit laminate so it sheds precip while providing a level of flexibility you can't get from most waterproof jackets. A mesh lining wicks away moisture, while Power Stretch cuffs and a drawcord neck add comfort. The editors at Outside Magazine were so impressed with this softshell, they gave a shout out in this year's buyer's guide."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Waterproof and highly breathable, the G50 delivers high performance in a low profile, technical soft shell. Lightweight and straightforward, with the details you need for alpine climbing and none of the extras you dont."

From RockCreek:
"The G50 Jacket by Mountain Hardwear is a highly technical, yet low profile soft shell jacket made for all sorts of winter sports. Waterproof and highly breathable, made with a durable, abrasion resistant Synchro SBT material that moves with you as you hit ice or maneuver across glaciers. The inner laminate - Conduit - is a unique membrane made up of interconnected hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules that actively work to draw moisture vapor away from the body while you work hard. The G50 is designed with the minimalist idea that the least amount of bells and whistles is lighter and easier to use."

"I've been using this jacket for high aerobic activities in the winter such as XC skiing and backcountry touring and it's simply amazing. It's very light (comparable to my Polartech 200 fleece jacket). It's wind/waterproof and it provides great range of motion with its stretchy fabric."

"Awesome softshell. The conduit softshell material is great. This jacket fits great. It's not too long so it doesn't get in the way of your harness while climbing. It's extremely windproof and waterproof but the seams are not sealed so it leaks a little bit."
