I would give it 5 stars if I was a climber which I'm not, but the MX (mixed use) jacket is supposed to be an all around jacket, and it is, but with long sleeves. It does shed water and dry out brilliantly as well as block the wind. It's great for moving around while backpacking and in camp is really nice when used in tandem with a wool base layer. And, of course it helps that it looks really sharp at the bars after a day of shredding pow.

Very light weight and an excellent price. Kept me dry on a recent rainy trip up King's Peak. Not many frills, but one thing that is nice is the extra large mesh pockets on the inside of the jacket - good for power bars and trail mix. I agree that the sizing is off. I normally wear a large and the XL that I got fits perfectly.
