Great jacket. Only complaint is that the softshell fabric started to pill a bit where my backpack strap goes across my chest. Otherwise, the thing kept me dry in all day rain, and kept my temp very well regulated going up and down the peaks. Highly recommend it.

I'll second the pilling issue. I scraped off the fluff with a razor blade, but it came back soon enough. I've really loved having this jacket, but after a year or two, when I compared it to a brand new one at a gear store, I was surprised at how much it was showing its age.

I agree with this review about the wear from backpacks. Its wearing out right under the arms where the straps rub. The pilling (small balls of fluff on the fabric) hasn't noticeable affected the waterproofness, but then again, the under arm area doesn't get pounded with rain like the shoulders and arms of the jacket do. Overall, great jacket, but be aware that it show some wear.
