Awesome jacket

I bought this jacket in April of this year for skiing and backpacking. I also purchased a Denali to use as a Zip in. I love both jackets and they are perfect if used for what they were designed for. They both have pit zips. I used the Mountain Light Jacket on a five day backpacking trip in the Weminuche Wilderness area of Colorado last July. I only took the Mountain Light jacket (with The North Face rain pants) to use as a coat and for rain protection. It rained every day and the jacket performed perfectly. I never got hot or overheated while hiking in rainstorms as the jacket breathes extremely well. I never got wet either. I did not take my Denali with me due to weight and volume. I only got chilled one night when we got caught on the top of the Continental Divide and had to hunker down due to lightening and lack of a flat place to put our tents. The temperature went into the 40s with a strong wind but it was ok. Buy the jacket if you want a technical, high performance jacket. I am very picky and I am very pleased. If you are going to get into extremely cold weather, put the zip in Denali and it is second to none.
