Great lightweight jacket

I was surprised to find that most of the back panel (everything below shoulder level) is Apex Aerobic (the gray stuff). Having said that, the design is actually better for my uses. The Apex stuff is still quite wind resistant but it wicks and breathes a lot better so if you break a little sweat (especially with a pack on) it will let the moisture out a lot easier. The wind stopping abilities don't take that much of a hit either. I took it out on my motorcycle on a chilly morning and at 45mph with the jacket zipped up and the cuffs and hem cinched it cut right through the wind with no problems. Pair this up with a light fleece and I've got my layering combo for cool weather hiking!
