"I bought this jacket primarily to ski in and I have to say it has been excellent. It is very wind proof but also very breathable. I was out on a day with a lot of melt and stayed very dry. The jacket, while not waterproof, is very water resistant."

"Actually I want to give 4.5 stars.
It is a softshell that I wear in
- snow place
- downtown
- camping, nearly anywhere cool to cold places.

Excellent cutting, athletic fit, long sleeve with vent pockets. I only deduct the half star for it lacks adjustment of neck collar."
