Has anyone else had issues with condensation building up inside when layering in colder conditions? How about how it performs in more mild temps?

I've had condensation issues with this jacket in mild, wet conditions while exerting myself. But, no wp/b shell is going to pass your sweat vapor when it's as wet outside of the shell as it is inside. In cold, dry conditions, you shouldn't be getting condensation on the inside of the coat. If you're moving enough to start sweating under the shell, it's time to remove a layer.

Paclite certainly does not breathe as well as pro shell. I have noticed condensation in my Theta SL when doing intense activity (I always try to keep the vents open a bit to prevent it). The Pro shell on the shoulder and top of arms seem to breathe much better. I see your review below- this is certainly not meant to be a ski shell. Get yourself a pro shell jacket.
