How is the wind protection on this jacket? Will it shield Arctic winds? I'm looking for a winter jacket that can also be worn in windy cold rainy situations on an everyday basis... But also on Alpine ascents and other back country snowy affiars...

This thing held up to 50mph winds while I was out climbing the other day. Amazing jacket for such a light piece and I love that it breaths better than friends GorePro 3 Layer jackets that cost 3x the price. Mountain Hardwear got this right with tough 70 denier nylon on the outside and truely breathable waterproof Gore Pac-Lite inside. Great job guys!

Yes it will shield you 100% from Arctic Winds. It is also guaranteed against polar bear attacks, walrus batterings, lava, and nuclear radiation.

This jacket is totally wind and waterproof. An arctic wind? It would be good to have a bit of insulation in conjunction with this shell in an arctic situation. Not so much for the wind or water... but for the cold. Hope this helps!
