Wow - I can't say enough about this jacket. Simply the best jacket I've ever owned. First - insulated waterproof/breathable? Genius! Even the hood is insulated! The thing is warm too! Have worn it in 80+mph winds / -10degF - with only a lightweight shirt underneath and been toasty! It says it's not helmet compatible but I've worn a helmet underneath the hood without problems (caveat emptor). The number of pockets is perfect and the inner mesh pocket is a great addition. I guess my only complaint would be the drawstrings to cinch the hood are on the inside - means you have to open the jacket to adjust (a pain if it's miserable outside). BTW: The fit is true - 5'10"/155lbs = Medium with room for layers underneath.
Simply put - this is the jacket I would have asked for if I had had the chance to sit down with the folks at Patagonia and asked them to design me a jacket.
