Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry.com:
"The Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket adds the element of stretch and surprising softness--to an already awesome shell. Venture into the teeth of the storm with the 3-way roll-down Optipull hood. Ventilate your hardworking, ripped torso with the combination pitzip/handwarmer pockets. Store food or whatever in the high-volume chest pocket, and layer away with the offset zipper designed to accommodate Regulator insulated tops."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Stretch Element Jacket is Patagonia's fully featured climbing shell for active use in sustained brutal weather, is as light and mobile as can be without compromising waterproofness. And this season, fewer compromises (of lightness, stretch, softness) have to be made. Their new stitch-free Composite Seam System™ construction enhances compressibility and durability, minimizes weight, and speeds surface dry time. They've also added 3-layer reinforcements over the shoulders and down sleeves. Details: anatomically contoured, perforated hook-and-loop cuffs; two internal and four external pockets; a sculpted hem for gymnastic climbing moves; and a contoured, trim fit (femininely shaped) that's slightly shorter in length. With pit zips that are independent from chest pockets, a roll-down, three-way Optipull hood, and a removable between-the-legs strap to keep the jacket from riding up."
