I have the Guide Jacket and Guide Pants from 2007. They are awesome products! I have worn them both many times and wear the jacket with out a liner as a windbreaker both Spring and Fall. When the weather gets cold I just layer up.
The heavier material of the Guide series along with the ripstop panels make the product even more durable.
Its what I grab whether I'm snow shoeing, hiking in cool weather, or going to fall Soccer or Football game!

So I just got my Varius jacket in the mail and I am very impressed with it thus far. It's very warm even without a fleece zipped inside. Initially I was looking at down parkas but realized I wouldn't have much use for while at home in Florida. This is multi-purpose jacket that you can wear occasionally on trips to cold places(with a North Face Denali zipped in) or as light shell when it's raining(outer-shell alone.) Backcountry gave me free shipping and it was at my doorstep in 2 days. Awesome service, thank you Backcountry!
