Amazing jacket!!!

I have worn this jacket for about a month now and it's an amazing jacket! The higher pockets were a little odd at first but it's such a minor issue. My jacekt is made in Canada which is a change this year because the previous year, they were made in China. The quality is there and if you flip it inside out, you can see the attention to quality. You will get the odd glue spots or an uneven stitch (not stitched in a straight line) but these are minor minor issues...i'm just a little anal and notice these things quite easily. With the function, it blocks all wind and is amazing at blocking out water. It's also very breathable and makes me wonder how the eVent jackets compare. I took about a month to research this jacket and many people have suggested this jacket or anything from Arcteryx because you get what you pay for. I look forward to really testing this jacket out in the winter time. I'm 6'1, 195lbs and an athletic build and I fit medium perfectly. I can still put my Hercules underneath or my Montbell UL Parka underneath if it's really cold. Don't worry about the price, in the long run, it's worth it!
