The North Face Apex Hooded Infusion Jacket

First rate construction, super durable, and a comfortable stretchy fit. This is the perfect winter trip jacket; it can handle all the sleet and snow you can throw at it. The Apex weather block fabric is not as breathable as the other North Face Apex fabrics (Apex Universal and Apex Aerobic), but it's a lot more weatherproof. The jacket is completely waterproof except for the seams. The fabric is also super durable. I've been through a lot of cat claw and other nasty crap in the Gila Mountains without any damage to the jacket!
