I've had this jacket for about 2-3 years now. Excellent jacket! Great for all-around use. Although I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who sweats alot when they are active as it isn't the best when it comes to breathability, even with the vents. Only problem I've had with it is it has recently begun to de-laminate around the hood and in spot areas on the front thus allowing water to "soak" into the material leaving wetspots in the rain. Probably caused by the wear and tear over the years.

I called W.L. Gore customer reps and they told me to send in the jacket for analysis and informed me to go out and pick out a replacement jacket free of charge as it was a manufacturing defect!
