It's so nice, I may only wear it in the city...

I am also a jacket junkie. As this jacket is very similar to the Marmot windshirt (which I also have) it begs comparison. Differences - this jacket is much better cut, has a waist drawcord and the cuffs are velcro - not elastic. Also, the katabatic is much better at resisting the rain than the windshirt. I like them both. The Marmot windshirt is more of a "beater". You can really thrash it and not worry, plus it might be a little warmer as a mid-layer than this one. I wear the Marmot windshirt during rock and mountain climbing, while I wear the katabatic more for hiking and training and in town. It could probably take the same abuse as the Marmot, but I like it too much to mess it up.
