I purchased this jacket on a strong recommendation from a knowledgeable friend who packs safe and light. I've worn it on one trip. It was a 30deg to 40deg rainy 3-dayer. The coat performed great. I used the under-arm zippers to keep the right temp. Never had a wetness problem either due to rain or sweat. I hiked hard in it for hours. This is not a insulation jacket - just a shell. I just love it so far.

My friend urged me to get the pullover, which he loves. I prefer the full zipper and more pockets. At first I wasn't sure I'd keep it. I wanted black but only could get red on short notice, plus the fit is boxy. I packed it with tags still on for a rainy 30deg-40deg hard hike trip. On the hike I decided to use it. I've never looked back. Not as warm as my expedition down coat, but so much lighter. I feel good in it now. I no longer see it as boxy. I even wear it around my neighborhood - and enjoy it! I highly recommend it. One thing I've been meaning to ask is why I can't find the interior stash pocket. That's a bit annoying.
