Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia.com:
"For full-on, Talus-blasted alpine conditions, our warmest fully featured soft-shell jacket breathes, protects, and allows unimpaired mobility. The stretchy, densely woven face blocks wind and sheds moisture, while the soft, multi-directional fleece liner warms and wicks. A fleece-lined, 2-way-adjustable hood allows mobility and vision from wind-scoured summit ridges to backcountry bowls. Details include water-resistant external zippers, drawcords for hood and hem (accessed through the pockets), articulated sleeves, a glued-in chest pocket, two roomy handwarmer pockets (placed above the harness-line and big enough for folded skins) and an internal security pocket."

From Backcountry.com:
"The bombproof Patagonia Men's Winter Guide Jacket is the ideal mixed-discipline cold-weather softshell. Fully fleece-lined, with a trim unlined hood that will fit under a climbing helmet, the Winter Guide Jacket is suited perfectly to its namesake user. The stretchy, tough, woven nylon shell has precurved arms for natural mobility and its seam-free in key abrasion areas. Shoulder your skis or swing an ice axe without a snag and without drenching yourself in sweat the membrane-free fabric breathes like a champ while the tight weave and Deluge DWR coating repel anything short of a downpour. Lofty fleece inside the Winter Guide wicks moisture and keeps the wind off your back, but packs down easily and won't interfere with the fit of a harness."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Our warmest, fully insulated soft shell providing mobility, weather-resistance and great breathability to alpine climbers and skiers.When the day?s gear list includes ice tools and crampons, plus skis or a board, the new Winter Guide is ready. Our warmest, fully insulated soft-shell jacket sheds snow and moisture, while the stretchy, densely woven face blocks wind yet maintains superb breathability. A soft, multi-directional fleece liner warms and wicks moisture, and the unlined, two-way-adjustable hood allows mobility and vision. Details include: a water-resistant front zip, drawcords for hood and hem that are accessed through the hand pockets, articulated sleeves, a welded chest pocket, two roomy handwarmer pockets (sized to hold folded skins and located above the harness-line) and an internal security pocket. The regular fit accommodates medium underlayers."

"To put it simply: the jacket is awesome. After almost 9 months of use it fits well, it moves well, it insulates when you need it, it breathes when you need it. I can lift my arms up above my head without the jacket pulling up (a must in cold weather climbing)."
