Great Lightweight Shell

After ordering a dozen coats in a variety of styles and materials, this was by far my favorite.

I've had the Spectre for a few months now and used it everywhere from a few dozen city downpours at temps between 40-80, a 20 minute shower test, to rainy hikes in WV. I have to say, I love it.

I have GoLite's Jam2 and am pleased to report it lives up to my expectation in every way - strong, lightweight, affordable, looks great. The fit is clean and fitted without being snug so I can fit a few layers underneath (I'm 5'9" and 155lb and wear very fitted clothing - purchased the small). The jacket also breathes wonderfully.

To top it all, you can't beat the weight. Originally thought about the Virga but am glad I opted for the pockets. The media pocket and wiring ability is a nice touch. Just enough stuff to make it great without overwhelming you with weight and options. I'm thrilled.
