From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Mountain Hardwear Men's Quark Jacket (Fall 2008) The Mountain Hardwear Men's Quark Jacket is like a force field, only lighter. Fully welded, fully waterproof, highest breathability rating, four-way stretch. Under 10 oz."
From RockCreek:
"The Quark Jacket by Mountain Hardwear may have a funny name, but it provides absolute protection for wet and cold weather. After years of research MHW finally got it right with their new Incite material that provides incredible lightness, absolute waterproofness yet has one of the highest ratings of breathability in all of their jackets. Unlike many of the "rain jackets" on the market, the Quark is constructed with a four way stretch that gives you the mobility needed for all sorts of outdoor endeavors. If mountaineering or ultra-light backpacking is your thing, you need this jacket to complete your adventure."
From Backcountry.com:
"The super lightweight, super breathable, highly waterproof Mountain Hardwear Men's Quark Jacket revolutionizes technical shells. Using only super soft tricot and a Conduit laminate, this ten-ounce jacket cuts out the middle man without sacrificing protection. You'll barely notice the Quark Jacket on your back or in your pack, but you can't ignore the 20K-rated waterproof coating and welded seams keeping you dry during an alpine storm. This featherweight shell has all the features you look for in a high-end ski or mountaineering jacket, including superlight welded pitzips, a roll-away hood, and articulated sleeves. What the Quark doesn't have is bulky, weighty shell fabric and that's one feature you won't miss."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Like a force field, only lighter. Fully welded, fully waterproof, highest breathability rating, four-way stretch. Under 10 oz."
