Just got mine on Monday, XXL Olympian Blue. It's a Gore-Tex 3L Pro Shell, so you already know its guaranteed waterproof and breathable. The things that sets this jacket apart are:1) The fit: great athletic fit that still has long wide arms and a long torso. Huge hood that fits over a helmet or adjusts to smaller sizes.2) The color. The Olympian Blue is really sharp and different than than anything I've seen.3) The media pocket is designed well.4) Removable skirt, not uncommon but awesome for reducing bulk when you're not on the mountain.My only complaint is that it doesn't have handwarmer pockets. Other than that, this jacket is great and I can't wait to put it to the test.

You can use your mid layer pockets as handwarming pockets by zipping up your lower ventialtion zips in the Lofoten Pro. The jacket was constructed with this purpose. Jørgen
