This jacket is great. It is the most versatile piece of clothing that I own. It is my coat all the way from fall to spring, no matter what activity I'm doing. Its Windstopper membrane keeps you comfortable down to 15 degrees, and the huge pit zips (they strech from the elbow to the armpit) keep you well ventilated even when hiking and mountain biking.

One final thing that I really like about this jacket is the size and convenience of pockets. There are two pockets just above the waist and one security pocket inside the jacket right near your chest. The price is very high, but if you search the internet you can find the jacket for $150-$175.

Finally, my experience was that the sizing chart on the Mountain Hardwear web site ran quite small. I had to go two sizes up from what the sizing chart said I would wear. I would recomend going to a store, finding your size, and then ordering online. As much as I like to support my local outdoor store, the discount on the internet is too large to pass up.
