I really love this jacket. It's supper warm and the interior is soft. The Gore-Tex Pro Shell is amazingly rugged. Very tough shoulders and wrists and the rip-stop style shell body is a nice touch. The DWR is good and waterproofness is to be expected. The pockets are insulated unlike Patagonia's Micropuff Jacket. Completely windproof, packs well for Gore-Tex and looks great. The stow hood has a soft 40D nylon lining like the interior of the jacket. I'm 5'8" 165lbs and the Medium fits really well. The only problem I have and its not that big of a deal is the fact the collar has a stretch baffle that keeps snow or precip from getting into the jacket. Problem is that the collar when it's not zipped all the way up the zipper is right at eye level and gets kind of annoying. Not sure if I have the latest version but mine doesn't have the red zipper pulls and it's made in Canada.
