Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia.com:
"When you're climbing and skiing through blowing snow in frigid temperatures, the breathable, wind- and water-resistant Talus keeps warmth where it belongs. We bonded a warm, dense polyester fleece liner to the tightly woven 4-way-stretch Polartec Power Shield polyester face fabric for superb weather-resistance and warmth with soft-shell performance. The articulated arms end with supple, low-profile self-fabric cuffs, and the handwarmer pockets are fleece-lined. With two chest pockets and a drawcord hem. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program."

From Backcountry.com:
"When cold conditions can't stop you from moving fast in the backcountry, pull on the Patagonia Women's Talus Jacket. This four-way stretch softshell gives you windproof, water-resistant protection with a warm fleece lining for ice climbing, ski touring, or mountaineering. This Talus features a discontinuous polyurethane layer to strike a balance between wind protection and breathability, and two fleece handwarmer pockets for warming up chilled digits. Store your ski pass in the zippered arm pocket, and when you've worn the jacket out, return it to Patagonia for recycling through the Common Threads Program."

"This is an excellent soft-shell. This jacket does what every good soft-shell should do, which is keep you comfortable in a wide range of conditions. The DWR finish repels all but the heaviest of precip. The jacket is comfortable in temps ranging from 30-60 F if you're stationary, and 15-50 F when active."
