Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"25% off REI Outerwear, Clothing, and Underwear - Taku is a great-looking jacket offering the ultimate in versatility: It's lightweight, windproof, waterproof, breathable and comfortable. A great selection for aerobic activities in cold conditions when you may encounter windy, wet weather. Think alpine touring, climbing, snowshoeing and spring skiing. Top of hood, shoulders and cuffs are made from a three-layer REI Elements nylon/laminate fabric offering waterproof, breathable protection. Stretch fabric in the lower body and in hood offer comfortable four-way stretch, high mobility and breathability. All seams are sealed for weather-tight protection. Core body vents allow air movement and help regulate body temperature; they're positioned so as not to interfere with backpack straps. Storm hood has stretch side panels and cinches down for a close fit with unhindered peripheral vision. Full-length front zipper is backed by a wind guard that rolls over zipper to protect chin from abrasion. Articulated elbows, pattern shaping at upper back and no underarm seams allow full range of motion; jacket stays in place when arms are raised. Features two hand pockets and one chest pocket. Front zipper, chest pocket and hand pockets are all welded and feature water-resistant zippers. Drawcord hem and elasticized cuff backs with adjustable tabs seal in the warmth. Athletic, close-fitting cut is thermally efficient and doesn't inhibit movement. Windproof to 60 mph."

"This other review makes me grin. . . . dude paid $12 for a truly awesome coat and talks about mesh and mice? Anyway, I paid $200 for this coat and I feel it was worth it.

This is not a coat to take an expedition up into the mountains for sure. But when used for the purpose for which it was intended, this jacket is primo."

Reviewed by TrenaryJL, Jan 10, 2007

"This is an excellent jacket. It is very well made and keeps out the rain and wind very well. I have used it through quite a few windy storms in the Smokies. The fabrics are very interesting because some of it is very stretchy allowing full motion and the shoulders and back are more static and rigid giving it greater durability I suppose."
