Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The REI Taku jacket is a versatile option for your backcountry pursuits. Waterproof, breathable stretch fabric provides the ultimate in comfort and the ultimate in protection. Great for aerobic activities in cold conditions when you may encounter windy, wet weather; think alpine touring, climbing, snowshoeing and spring skiing. Seam-taped, breathable 3-layer REI Element® laminate blocks rain and winds to 60 mph; shoulders and hood are reinforced to resist abrasion and shed weather. 4-way stretch fabrics and athletic fit let you move without restriction. Core body vents let you regulate body temperature and are positioned to remain clear of pack straps. Storm hood with side and rear adjustments cinches down for a close fit and unhindered peripheral vision. Wind guard backs main zipper; chin guard protects sensitive skin. All zippers are welded and water resistant. Drawcord hem and adjustable cuffs. 2 hand pockets and 1 chest pocket."

Women's Taku Jacket
Reviewed by LedZep, Aug 26, 2008

"See my review on the REI Osmose. . . everything goes with the Taku too. Added is core vents with mesh lining. . . will take this skiing, hiking, camping. . . fits well with fleece or other synthetic insulated sweater added underneath.

Heavier than the Osmose but is also more rugged and looks terrific as does the Osmose."

Men's Taku Jacket

"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."

Men's Taku Jacket
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."
