Great Jacket

I've got the white, Small, Citation 2 and I love it! It's warm, waterproof, and windproof. It's been keeping me dry and warm here in Japan. I'm 5'5", and the small is great for layering, since it's just a shell. This jacket is fully loaded with tons of pockets and zippers. There's extra room in the elbows to make movement easy and the lining is super soft.

The downsides to the jacket are the zippers. The zippers have a rubber sealing system to keep out all water, which is great, but it makes the zippers difficult to zip sometimes. The pit zips, which are extremely useful, also make it awkward to put your arms down because of the stiffness from the rubber sealing.

All in all, a great jacket. It's been really useful and it's a great looking jacket. And seriously, you can't beat Gore-tex.
