From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Patagonia Men's Mixmaster Jacket (Fall 2006) The Mixmaster Jacket by Patagonia's windproof and water-resistant stretch-woven outer shell is bonded to our variegated-fiber R2 insulation, creating a stretchy, compressible and toasty single package that performs better, and weighs less, than traditional shell-plus-fleece combos. It's also highly breathable, with reverse-coil DWR zippers and a helmet-compatible, two-way adjustable hood. Reinforced fabric on the shoulders, down the sleeves and in the hood enhances durability, and elastic on the sides maintains a trim torso fit and keeps the ventilating chest pockets open when unzipped. A removable between-the-legs strap holds jacket in place, and we've raised the seam hem to avoid under-harness pressure. The contoured, but not restrictive, fit allows for underlayers.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Our premier alpine soft shell for winter-conditions climbing from Chamonix to the Hayes Range combines an improved, stretchier outer shell that's windproof and water-resistant, bonded throughout to an updated R2 insulation that glides more easily over layers. Heavier fabric reinforces shoulders and sleeves, while zippers are now reverse-coil and have a water-repellent Deluge DWR finish. Gusseted wrists feature light, soft and anatomically contoured hook-and-loop closures. The jacket's weight -- as a single piece -- is half that of a conventional combo of hard shell with separate fleece insulation. It's also highly compressible and breathable, with an Optipull two-way adjustable roll-down hood, ventilating torso pockets and a removable between-the-legs strap to hold the jacket in place. The improved fit has a contour that's trim but not restrictive, and allows for underlayers."

First off, this is a WINTER jacket. If you're wearing this in the rain, you're not using it in the right conditions! Just because it has a hood doesn't make it a 'rain' jacket. This jacket is made for SNOW. The first 2 reviewers of this jacket love it but complain that it 'wets out in rain' and doesn't do well in hard rain.

I like this jacket a lot. Excellent for snow and cold down to around 10 deg F. Super durable, and lighter loft in sleeves makes it great for ice climbing and snowboarding.

My only complaint is that the fabric wets out fast and takes forever to dry.

** Excellent, lightweight, jacket. Has a larger hood which seals comfortably keeping out wind/rain/snow.

In heavy rain the jacket will let some water in but with the wool/poly inside it dries very quickly--it breathes very well and is 100% windproof.

It is kinda pricey, but the inside is very soft and completely lines (sleeves included...).
