Lightweight and great feeling soft shell, Windstopper laminate and zwelded seams (welded, stretchy and impervious to water) create a windproof, exceptionally weather-resistant shell for mountaineering.
Most people will wear this and a baselayer for their climb on Rainier and be set. Excellent choice.

I just bought this again. I previously bought a large and it fit OK, except the sleeves were way too long. I've talked to other owners with similar opinions. I am 5'9 1/2" and 180#. The meduim I have now is a little snug for me in the torso with a 1/2 zip tee underneath, but the sleeves don't drive me nuts anymore. For my hikes around town it is warm enough for me down to about 40F by itself; but I get chilled somewhat quickly. With a thicker layer underneath I could wear it below 32F

I have used this jacket for both mountaineering and ice climbing and I love it. While it is not as warm as other soft shell jacket. It is extremely light and comfortable. Having a hood on the jacket is also a plus as I have had jackets that don't have hoods. The only downside I saw to this jacket was that I had to wear an extra layer on extremely cold days. But It is worth it.
