Flawless

I have never been more completely satisfied with a single piece of gear. This jacket is amazing in nearly any conditions. It has handled massive amounts of powder, sleet, and rain. The venting options (pit zips, core vents/pockets) are priceless as I tend to run very warm. I really like that the hood (helmet compatible) can be rolled down when not in use. I choose this jacket over the Arc'Teryx Alpha SV as the features of this jacket were too good to pass up. I would purchase this jacket again in a second!
