I would not recommend this jacket if you are after a light weight shell.
It is fairly heavy.
The back length could be longer. Too short for some layering items.
They stick out and get wet.
Construction is adequate.
Hood is not removable which is a drawback.

I would say it’s fairly light for a 70D jacket. I think most people think that just because its packlight (with some pro) it’s going to be a feather, but it also depends on the nylon being used (in this case 70d throughout). The back length seems average; I wouldn't say it is short but not noticeably long either. Construction seems great. Hood being removable is a drawback when it comes to a jacket like this. The reason being that adding a removable hood adds 1 more zipper = more weight. Sealed or not that zipper also provides one more opportunity for wind or water to get in.
