  I've had this jacket for about a year now and it's excellent. It breathes much better than any Gortex jacket I've owned and is much more durable than I would have thought. It's nice and lightweight, packs well and as long as you wash it regularly, keeps it's water repellency no problem. The size and fit is great. I'm 6'0, 175lbs and the Large is a great fit with plenty of room for layering.
