This is a great jacket very breathable and durable with good quality construction what Montane fails in is cuff design it is impossible to snug up the cuffs by yourself I also had a venture Jacket from Montane that had the same problem

I have found that I can manipulate the cuffs on my super-fly xt quite easily with one hand, even when wearing my bulkiest gloves or mittens (I tested it right now to make sure). I don't know if my jacket is different from Patricks, since it didn't come from backcountry.com (got it before backcountry carried montane), but the cuffs on mine have a flexible, but somewhat stiff, rubberized tab. I like these cuffs quite a bit--there is enough velcro to allow them to cinch down securely on my tiny wrists, and the edge of the cuffs has never irritated my wrists like some other jackets that have elastic under a less soft material. I consider the cuffs on this jacket to be a plus, not a minus.
