It's everything it's billed to me. I'm set now that I have the Alchemy and Tenacity Descent. I'm taking it skiing in 2 weeks, so that will be the true test. So far, I love the fleece liner and it breathes great. I will say a few words about the sizing. I went with the XL but I am right between L and XL (I have the L Tenacity descent hardshell). I'm ~6'2''/200/42L and the XL fits pretty well. I bet the L would fit the diamater of my torso better, but I was afraid it wouldn't be quite long enough. I'll never know as I opted against ordering the L just to try it. I'm satisfied with the fit. All in all, great coat.

I love the jacket. I took it for a test drive on a ski trip this past weekend. It functioned great as a shell, keeping me warm and dry. I love the choice of pockets. The hood is great...it popped it up for lift rides and down to cruise. Great design. The only negative I saw was that I'm almost between the L and XL even though my measurements place me firmly in L. As another reviewer noted, the jacket is cut a bit shorter than I would like...but that's to be expected for the "athletic" cut of this type of jacket. All in all, highly recommended.
