AWESOME Jacket! Most versatile liner piece I've used

I found this jacket to be superior to just about every other technical winter piece I've ever owned, and I have used a lot of different brands throughout the years. The zip-out liner jacket in the Varia makes things so easy in the morning when leaving to the mountain...I don't have to think about layers or extra clothers, or even having something different to change into after the ski day is over. Every condition or circumstance I might encounter is covered!
The pack I use doesn't seem to interfere with the pockets too badly at all, unlike in the previous reviewer's experience. In fact, this jacket fits me great, too, so it all just depends on your body type.
The material breathes very well and I never overheat. Even in a rain storm I did not get wet at all. I wear the liner piece in the fall and spring for hiking and camping trips. All in all, to be getting two very solid pieces of outerwear for the price of one, you really can't go wrong, especially with a company like Outdoor Research, who guaranties their products with a Lifetime Warranty. You just can't beat it!
