"Absolutely delighted with the versatility of this bargain parka. Well suited waterproof/breathable parka, yet the zip in features make this a well rounded all weather parka. Solstice offers fleece and down zip-in vests and jackets, but I have found that any other name brand products with the same YKK zipper tooth pattern work just as well."

"I've taken this jacket to hell and back in the three years I've owned it with only one complaint that hasn't been addressed in the newer models.

It's been on my back in downpours on several of Hawaii's exquisite trails (Haleakual, and Wyma Caynon (sp?) and up a mountain in the highlands of Scotland."

"Had to send one back because of leaking on shoulders, I think it was the DWR actually. They sent me a new one and it seems to be working fine. The Tech Fleece jacket they make zips in and kept me very warm standing on top of mountain at Steamboat in CO on 5F day w/no sun at all and lots of wind and snow."
