So Far...

...So Fantastic. I've had it for about a month, and so far have yet to test it out ice climbing, which is why I bought it (not yet winter in the 'dacks.) But with the wet fall up here in Glens Falls, and this jacket, I have been emboldened to walk places in the rain I would never have before. My torso stays completely dry, and at 6'4", 185 my Large jacket had plenty of room to spare for layering on those 40 degree rainy days. The articulated elbows and long sleeves will be perfect once the Ice gets here because they allow for free range of motion in the arms without any pulling or awkwardness. Your arms won't even know there's anything there. The hood is probably the greatest feature, because it pulls tight to your helmet, and allows for almost full peripheral vision, which has been my biggest pet peeves about hoods. It turns with your head, and keeps everything dry. All in all, if you value staying dry, this jacket is worth the money all the way, and will become one of your favorite pieces of gear.
