Here's what other sites are saying:
From RockCreek:
"The Grade VI Jacket is Patagonia's lightest, most compact 3-layer mountaineering hard shell. The Grade VI is stripped-down, technically dialed and tough, and delivers waterproof/breathable protection at a light-and-fast weight. Articulated, athletic shaping throughout leaves nothing restricted when you're swinging tools. Patagonia's 3-layer nylon with ripstop yarns glides easily over insulation, and their advanced, stitch-free Welded Composite Seams (patent pending) minimize bulk, shave ounces, and enhance wet-weather performance. Other features include coated zippers, perforated hook-and-loop wrist closures, long-opening hand pockets that double as heat vents, and a helmet-compatible, roll-down, 3-way-adjustable hood. Slim fit allows for baselayers and light midlayers."

I am really annoyed by the comments of the previous reviewer "disgusted". It sounds like the reviewer reviews the item based on the fashion value and, what other people think of it."

When it was purchased the jacket was in line with Patagonia's Spring/Summer '05 collection but now just after three months it is no longer made and that makes my jacket look outdated already! You quickly lose the "New Jacket Feeling" and you just look at the jacket for what it is, a jacket."
