Has anybody used the sentinel for rock climbing? I'm wondering how the black jacket deals with the white chalk marks. Can I just pat them out or will this have to go into the washer machine after a day of winter rock climbing. How does it handle abrasions from rough stone? Is the black jacket a lint magnet?

Yo Rjg. I have the black Sentinel and it has accompanied me on a few rock trips. The black isn't too bad with chalk. I would probably throw it in the wash with some Tech Wash after a weekend of climbing though since the chalk is going to gum up the breathability of the fabric. Abrasion-wise this thing is tough as nails. Mine has stood up to a year of abuse and is almost in tip-top condition. I would suggest keeping the jacket away from fires. *grumble* Lint-wise I've had no problems at all. Then again I don't have any pets either.
