I haven't had this jacket long, but after reading some of the reviews and questions it seems it needs to be noted that this is a great piece but definitely not a waterproof shell; and is not advertised as such. This is an extremely lightweight softshell (13 oz) that is meant for aerobic activity. It wouldn't be nearly as breathable if it were waterproof, but it is water resistant and fully windproof. You can certainly wear it in the spring and fall but I won't be wearing mine below freezing unless I'm working hard running, x-c skiing, etc. In following with it's purpose, the Transition has no extra bulk and weight with pockets and zippers, just the one rear pocket with an internal hole for a headphone cord. It also has an athletic fit (read form fitting) so if you are a thicker person it may fit funny. Great jacket for it's intended use.
