Nice jacket, a little heavy

By Anonymous Ranked #487 - Women's Technical Shells August 9, 2009

I wanted this jacket for backpacking and climbing in the Pacific NW mtns....I just did a trip in SE Alaska, and had some rain and cooler temps, and the jacket does a great job of protecting against the weather...wind and rain, both. Nice looking, too. My only complaint is that it's a bit on the heavy and non-compressible side, but that's a trade-off for its durable material I guess.
Bottom line is that I'll take it skiing or mountaineering during the shoulder seasons, but probably I'll be looking for a lighter-weight alternative for summer trips.
