How does this compare to the Transition? What are the differences (besides the pockets and the hood)? Which one is warmer, more durable, breathes better and more water resistant? Basically, which is a better jacket. Don't care that the Super Power has no hood, I'd rather have 2 side pockets (I can wear a cap)? I'm debating between the two, which is a better running jacket for the cold.

jsung. The Transition Jacket w/ hood is 100% windproof all the way around. The Super Power Transition is made with a combo of Transition windproof fabric (on the front) and lightweight power stretch fabric (on the back) This allows for protection in the front when running or skate skiing and phenomenal breathability through the fleece fabric on the back of the jacket. So, for running, skate skiing, cycling or other high output activities... I prefer the Transition Super Power Jacket. For backcountry skiing or climbing I prefer the Hooded Transition Jacket because of the increased weather and wind protection... and this explain why I have both in my closet! Hope this helps!
