This jacket rocks! I have USED the jacket (unlike the previous reviewer) and found it to be technical and well made. It is waterproof thanks to the HYVENT DT and it does not overheat. If it does get too warm, pit zips are there to help. The previous review knocked the stretch panels, but they are not an issue. They are made of the APEX material and I cannot see my finger through them. The zippers work great (tabs are not too long), I was opening and closing them all weekend with stuff in my pockets. The material is durable and looks like it will hold up fine to any abuse. I have a lot of jackets, and this one is at the top of my list. If you want a solid waterproof, durable jacket, this is one that will not disappoint. The jacket is not insulated, but I had plenty of room to layer underneath. With a base layer and hoody in low 30's temps, I was fine. I also got a lot of compliments on this jacket, so that is always a plus.
