Though I didn't buy it from Backcountry (I know, shame on me), this jacket is awesome- and I had to write a review here because Backcountry's customer service is the best of any retailer out there. The jacket is incredibly strong, has perfect workmanship, is waterproof beyond belief, and is very well cut. I use it mainly for mountaineering, and when wearing a pack and harness it still fits wonderfully, and there is very little ride up when my arms are extended above my head. The fit is great. The stowaway hood is nice but I tend to leave it out because when it is stowed the collar becomes quite thick, and with the layers underneath it can get kind of tight around the neck. Either way I highly recommend this jacket. Also, although it doesn't specify that it's windproof, you would really have to work to convince me it isn't. Excellent product. And buy it here because shame on me for not :)
