Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Patagonia Ready Mix Jacket is a lightweight softshell wonder. Softshell technology has been taking over the outdoor industry for the last few seasons. Due to their weather-shedding abilities and advanced breathability, softshell designs are ready for active pursuits. The Ready mix is the lightest full-protection softshell that Patagonia makes. Their revolutionary Composite Seam System increases weather-proofing while decreasing weight and bulk. Built for a variety of conditions and activities, this jacket has a soft interior to move moisture away from your body as you exert yourself. Long chest-pockets double as vents and store the things that you need close at hand. An ingenious angled zipper keeps your chin cozy when tucked away under the Optipull hood. Cut to be worn with layers, this softshell can handle bad weather and good."

From RockCreek:
"The Ready Mix Jacket is Patagonia's premier technical soft shell for ice and alpine climbing: light, superbreathable - and dries in a flash. Patagonia's award-winning Ready Mix soft shell maintains the delicate balance between foul-weather protection and breathable agility. Its innovative stitch-free, glued seams enhance durability, maximize weather-resistance, and minimize weight - an alpinist's or backcountry skier's dream. Made of stretch-woven polyester with a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish, and featuring heavier fabric reinforcements in high-wear areas. With a helmet-compatible, roll-down, 3-way-adjustable hood to keep you going through sideways-blowing snow. Finer points include compressible hook-and-loop wrist closures, drawcords for hem and face, articulated elbows, lightweight zipper pulls and venting torso pockets. Allows room for layers."

"Great soft shell! Keeps the wind off me when I'm out on the water in the summer. The jacket has a great fitting hood that stays on and doesn't get blown off. That's my favorite thing about it. Nice pocket placement. I have extra room for layering also when it is cold. You can't go wrong with this one."

"5 stars for the function it was designed for. That said, I use it for everything: golf, skiing (spring skiing), riding, hiking, running, anywhere I think I might get wet, but i'm not sure, and I'm not really out to get drenched. Packs small, superlight, and if you do get soaked, dries out fast (I was jogging in 60'F weather with ~50% humidity and I'm sweating like a pig and it starts to pour."

"I live in the great Northwest US, and needed something for the frequent dashes out-of-doors, as well as for the mountain trips to hike, snowshoe, and just kick around town on the weekends or go to the coast with. This jacket does it all, and is the ideal jacket for moderate conditions such as wind up to 20mph or so, and rain for about 10 min."

"I bought the Ready Mix as a lightweight replacement for an old North Face 3-ply Gore-Tex shell that was a bit too heavy-duty for the conditions I was encountering while backcountry skiing. I wanted something soft to the touch, yet water repellant enought to hold up under wet Sierra snow fall."
