Great Jacket.

I picked this jacket up off SAC for what I believe to be a steal of a price at $89 since it normally retails at $200.

Believe me, this jacket IS worth full price, I just got lucky.

I'm about 6'1-6'2 and approx. 180lbs and the Size Medium fits perfect. Being taller I was worried about the length and almost bought the Large but I'm glad I didn't. It's the perfect length for me, not too short not too tall.

The first day I got it we happened to have massive downfall so I got to test it out instantly. The fully taped seams really keep the water out, it just beads right off the MemBrain material.

It's extremely comfortable, no matter the weather. If its really cold outside you should consider a base layer of some sort, but in my area that's rarely necessary.

I have a comparable (Yet much more expensive) TNF soft shell and this jacket has every single feature that it has, minus the powderskirt, which is a non issue for me, really.

It doesn't have much lining, so it's perfect for those warmer days when you just need to stay dry, yet at the same time it's very breathable, but still keeps you modestly warm.

Not a super light weight, but not too heavy either. It's really a perfect compromise for the way I'll use it. The only complaint I have, however insignificant, is the hood. I have a big head, but it's still huge. Which is great for people wearing a helmet underneath, I don't, but it's really not much of a problem.

Don't hesitate to pick it up, it's an excellent jacket.
