Favorite jacket ever.

This is by far my most favorite Arc'teryx jacket. I use it for almost everything. I got the jacket in 2005 when they only had two colors: fog & black. I have the fog color.It's sleek, has an attractive fit, comfortable, and warm, but breathable. It is a little less water resistant now (after 4 years), even after re-treating it with DWR spray on and wash in. But - nothing beats this jacket on a rainy, chilly day. I usually remain dry for about 1 hour of being out in medium rain. I use this jacket for hiking, camping, kayaking, around town, snowboarding, and napping =D .
The only cons:
1) the Schoeller Dynamic attracts stains and doesn't clean easily (my cuffs and rim of the hood are stained gray/brown).
2) the jacket doesn't have pit zips and the sleeves are too tight to push up, making it hard to cool down when you work up a sweat.
