Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia.com:
"In the Canadian Rockies' daunting alpine zones, be sure the rock's adequately frozen in place, and don't forget persistence. Our Dimension Jacket's stretch-woven fabric provides unmatched durability for climbing crumbly limestone and skiing narrow chutes and resists water and blocks wind. Inside, the bonded polyester knit mesh adds warmth and speeds wicking. An offset front zipper won't bunch up under a layering system, and torso pockets actually stay open when you need to ventilate. Other features: easy-gliding, water-repellent zippers; hood/hem drawcords that adjust from the inside front pocket; a helmet-compatible, three-way Optipull hood, and anatomically contoured, light-and-supple, perforated hook-and-loop wrist closures."

From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS . Though Patagonia's Dimension jacket has a soft shell, don't let that fool you -- this bad girl is a hard-wearing, rugged companion for any alpine pursuit. Lightweight with excellent resistance to weather and abrasion, the textured fabric is also warm and moisture wicking with two-way stretch. Composite Seam System(TM) reduces the weight while increasing the weather protection and compressibility. Adjustable hood fits over a helmet and rolls down securely when not needed Full-zip front Zippered hand pockets Security pocket and interior pocket Asymmetrical hem lower in back Drawcord hem Adjustable touch-fasten cuffs Length: 27 Weight: 1 lb. 4 oz. 100% nylon Machine wash, dry Classic Fit CLOSEOUTS .

"I was lucky enough to have this jacket issued to me for my work. Overall, it is a great jacket, but as a previous reviewer mentioned, it's closer to a hardshell than a fast and light softshell.

I've used it snowboarding in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and it held up wonderfully."

"First the jacket gets a high rating because it does a very good job for what it was designed to do. It is a full-on softshell that offers a high level of protection. It has a hood, adjustable cuffs, and a longer cut. Along with a softshell fabric that is burly with reinforcements, the jacket is overall closer to the hardshell range than the fast and light range."

"The best jacket I own (out of almost a dozen in my closet). Sheds snow effortlessly and breathes like it's made of mesh (ok...a bit of an exageration but...). I've rolled in the snow and worn it in light rain without a drop of moisture collecting. If you're going to the backcountry and don't expect a monsoon...grab this jacket.

I do."

"I've been wearing the Dimension jacket for about three months now; and I love it. I also own a Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket and it has been an outstanding piece as well. I thought it might be useful to compare/contrast the two; since they are both very similar -- and very different."
