Description of Columbia Signal Mountain Jacket - Women's:
The Columbia Women's Signal Mountain Jacket uses a recycled polyester mesh lining to increase wicking performance and ensure total comfort on the trail. The fully seam-taped waterproof breathable Omni-Tech Whisper fabric fights off any torrential downpour without an issue. Part of Columbia's high-end Titanium line, the Signal Mountain Jacket features radial sleeves and a stretch fabric to allow total freedom of movement whenever you head into the mountains.
Bottom Line: Laugh at Mother Nature when you have the Columbia Signal Mountain Jacket's protection.
Absolutely love it! Have worn it up and down mountains as a light shell with base layers underneath, in bogs and brush for weeks on end (ended up saving my sanity as being the ONLY thing the mosquitoes couldn't bite through), in the artic tundra, black spruce forests, around campus, on long trail runs, etc. Holds up great to all the abuse I have put it through in a year (its had more than the average wear and tear). The wrist adjustments also keeps the mosquites out of your sleeves. It also puts up with quite a bit of funk, just keep it zipped up around people and you would never know its been your only shell for months at a time. And it is also completely water proof, it may look wet, but water won't soak through during a heavy down pour (though I did Nikwax it).
I am usually not a Columbia fan for anything besides casual wear, but this jacket has topped anything I have worn out in the field.
I recommend the chocolate brown, looks great, hides dirt and has received a lot of compliments.
