| Light with great stitching 
by Anonymous
I used this jacket on a trip through Japan including a trip up into the mountains. The average temperature was about 44 degrees F and had light to medium showers. The jacket itself was extremely lightweight and waterproof. It kept me powder dry with the rain just beading right off. However it is just a shell so I did have to throw on some additional layers underneath to stay warm. To wear this jacket with only a long sleeve tshirt the temp would have to stay above 55 degrees F. The thin stitching/seams on the jacket were great and it was made very well. But be warned the jacket is VERY short. I'm not particularly tall and the bottom end of the shell sits above my hips. If you have a long torso the shell might fit awkwardly and you might want to look for a parka length instead.
Very light, comfortable, packs tiny

I have only worn it a couple times but I think it will become my new hardshell of choice. I ordered a large size so that it fits over everything in winter. I'm not sure I'm sold on the venting wrists (as opposed to elastic ones)- it's a little bit of a pain to constantly open and close the velcro to get the sleeves on and off. I really like having a very lightweight hardshell. Overall very good buy.

Light and waterproof, but pocket zipper needs a flap

This is extremely light for a hardshell jacket. Breathes reasonably on par with other laminates generally. The chest pocket took on water in a downpour through the small opening at the top of the zipper. I put a piece of ripstop tape over the top to prevent this and it works better but looks a bit like an oversight that it is.
