Simply Awesome

Rating:*****
I got this jacket about 2 months ago it has seen snow rain sun and wind. It is light enough that with a t shirt you can wear it on a sunny day or with a long sleeve shirt wear it on a rainy day. This is the perfect outer layer to your outdoor layering system. add you insulation layer according to the temperature and activity. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Hardcore and easy on the back

I love this jacket!!! I have taken it on several climbs and it has never let me down. It has seen the summit of mt washington, mt rainier and several peaks in the adirondacks, ranging from rain to full on snow storms. I have always stayed dry, and even felt a little invinsable... definitly a must have.
