| keeper

Nice jacket. I had the GTX 2.5 but had serious problems with the zipper. Got the Typhoon instead and saved some bucks. For the money it's a great deal. I like the Paclite Gortex weight. In the South you hardly need more unless you are in the Appalachian Mtns. I haven't had much opportunity to check out the hood but it seems like it will do the job just fine. I think the hardcore adrenaline junky mountaineer types will want more than the jacket can provide but they will pay for it as well. I shopped hard for a Gortex jacket and found this to be a great value and a keeper. Great pricing from Altrec as well! Thanks.
Can't beat the price

Got the blue on sale for 119...The jacket has double-flap w/ velcro over the front zipper instead of a waterproof zipper which I would have preferred. It's light as a feather and kept me dry on my wet trip to the farmers market this weekend.
Excellent Jacket
by M. Potts, Niagara Falls, Ontario
I have had this jacket for over six months now and find it worth every cent. I have other goretex jackets and they are no comparison to this jacket. It packs tightly using very little space in the back pack and is virtually weightless. It keeps you completely dry from both the rain and from body moisture as it breaths so well and doesn't build any body heat. To sum it up extremely light and packs small and keeps you dry.

Very well made and nice looking. I got compliments from friends right away. Great for traveling from one climate to another. I'll never forget to bring this one on my trips. Light as a feather.
A WINNER!!!

Just received this jacket and used it on an 8 mile day hike. In a day that produced 2-1/2 inches of rain this jacket met and exceeded all of my expectations. It kept me completely dry and with the pit zips I didn't overheat. This shell outperforms all of my previous shells!! I can't wait to try it skiing.
