i have been using this jacket daily for 2 weeks, i love the breathability of the pro shell gore-tex, it beats the old xcr hands down. im 5'11" and 160# with a slender/athletic build and the medium is a perfect fit with enough room to layer under without being bulky. i was out yesterday BC snowshoeing in 25-30 mph winds with sleet and snowing blowing sideways. it kept the wind at bay and the stowable hood was perfect when on the mtn and even better when i was able to pack it in and snowboard some deep pow without the hood catching the snow. i only wish Arc'teryx had used a 2-way front zipper to ease access to my Arc'teryx bibs but i dont see it as a downfall to this jacket. im very impressed with the H2O proofness, feels like you can stand in the shower and stay dry. I highly recommend this for any backcountry activity
