The Speed Ascent Jacket is similar to the hercules, but offers a ton more wind and water protection. The Speed Ascent is a full soft shell piece with a killer DWR coating that blocks out all but the wettest storms. It breathes really well, and offers great warmth with the R2 fleece on the interior.
