Are the underarms gusseted? i.e.: Do the sleeves pull back when you lift your arm. It's listed as a cragging jacket, but doesn't specify the gussets. Will be used as a cold-weather rock climbing jacket. Any input from climbers is greatly appreciated!

The arms/body of the jacket are made from several different pieces of material, and for all practical purposes feels like a gusseted jacket (although there isn't an obvious gusset insert sewn under the arms). I am not a climber, and would be interested in any climbers' opinions. However, the range of motion is excellent, and when I raise my arms directly over my head the sleeves don't pull up at all, and the bottom hem barely moves.
