Excellent Jacket

I used this jacket for hundreds of miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Hiked 30 miles one day in rain & windy ~ 40 F temps and stayed dry and almost entirely sweat-free. Breathes really, really well. I use this as a "wind shirt" also since it's so light & breathable. My only gripe is that there are no hand pockets. Though that would push up the weight a bit, it would make the jacket more useable in-town for store runs, etc. The chest pockets are just barely big enough to fit an Apple iPhone or iPod Nano 2nd gen. Though it seems this type of eVent fabric isn't quite as durable as bomber Gore-Tex, it's worked well for me. Hard to find this jacket in stores, I found it at Feathered Friends in Seattle. Excellent, trim fit on me - about 6', 155 lbs on a size Medium. Almost a little too tight at the neck, but it's OK. I kind of wish they offered a brighter color though for safety / visibility in the mountains. I have the black version.
