My wife's favorite!   06-29-08

She's impressed by it's super light weight and waterproofness. She loves it when we rode our bikes to work 18 miles each way in the rain. It breathes fairly well under mid to high aerobic activities.

A keeper!   05-02-08

Wow! This jacket really DOES repel moisture! I haven't worn it outside, but tested the waterproofing by sticking my arm (in the jacket sleeve) underneath a faucet - and the water just rolled right off! Overall, a great value at sale price. I ordered a small (I normally buy size small shirts) and there is enough room for a vest underneath to wear when I go XC skiing out West. The jacket itself is incredibly light. The only part I don't like are the cuffs (hence my 4 star rating). I wish there was more of a hem on them because it looks like the fabric just stops at the end of the sleeve. Maybe Columbia will add this to a future version of this jacket? The cuffs are adjustable, however, which is a must have for me. Sleeve length is just right - I would caution those with long arms to possibly order up a size.
