I used the jacket for the first time on a nine days backpacking trip from Piute Pass trailhead to Chalfant Lakes at the end of August 2006. It didn't rain, but I wore the jacket in the morning and evening. All but one campsite were above 11,000 feet. I found the VELCRO®-Brand fasteners on the pockets irritating and so unnecessary (the pockets have zippers). The main zipper snagged regularly (once or twice a day). My old and heavier jacket has a more substantial main zipper. Never snagged. Still, I appreciated the weight saving of this jacket over my old one.
