Like every other piece of Mountain Hardwear equipment, I am very impressed. The PAC-LITE material is very lightweight, and although I havent tried this out on the slopes yet, I was camping a few weekends ago and endured a heavy downpour with this jacket repelling every little bead of water.
I bought my first Mountain Hardwear jacket about 10 years ago. After 5 years of heavy use, I ripped it while wiping out on some heavy rocks under powder. I mailed the jacket to Mountain Hardwear, who not only repaired the rip under warranty, but gave me a call and said that for $30 more, they would replace all the fabric panels on the jackets exterior (basically giving me a brand new jacket). The folks at MH are awesome, you can call them for advice, get great warranty service (and beyond), and even custom tailoring (which I normally do to extend length since Im 62).
This jacket is worth 3X its price, because it will last you 6X longer than most.
