The jacket is beautifully and durably made. I have been wearing mine maybe 12 days a year (of 100+ total) for over 6 years. Only some color fade in wear areas. But the scholler fabric is not that special, IMO. In the cold wind, it is very cold. Won't work when wet western snow is falling. In the heat or during effort, it doesn't breath that well (compared to a goretex hardshell). So it is like a high tech sweater,not usedful in that many conditions, needs better windproofing and breathability to be what it claims to be, not even considering snow fall days, again, IMO.

Not trying to be confrontational here, but there is no way a gortex hardshell breathes better than a softshell. Just doesn't happen.
