Gore-tex superiority

The 2L Gore-tex Mountain Light Jacket is superior quality. It is fantastic at keeping wind out and I recently wore it out in sub-freezing temperatures without layering and it worked fine. However, below about 20 degrees, layering enhances this jacket to be a fantastic winter coat. Add to that the waterproofness of the gore-tex membrane and you have an amazing product. I am thoroughly pleased.
