I bought this jacket for a trip to Squaw Valley in late March early April, spring conditions, temperatures reached the mid 50's during the day and it got into the 20's at night. The jacket performed excellently both on the slopes and off. Completely waterproof, warm if you need it to be with layers and keeps you cool when things get hot. As always the service on this site's end was great.

Make sure you are aware that the 28 L is for shorter torsos and the 33 L is for longer torsos. I was unaware of this and tried to get away with a smaller lighter pack, however the pack was just too short for me. Luckily Backcountry.com is great and handled my return of the 28 L and subsequent purchase of the 33 L quickly and hassle free. The pack itself is top notch.
