I love this jacket. I use it mostly for city use. I have a different Shower Pass jacket I wear for riding in the rain. I've gone for hour and a half walks in downpours and this jacket and Shower pass rain pants have kept me dry. weather is never an excuse anymore for going outside. Fit is great. Very well designed. Its a little heaver than my my light weight spring or summer jacket but great for colder times. I haven't yet tried it for downhill skiing but I wish you guys would make one dedicated to skiing. I've thought about buying one in a larger size so I could get more layers under it.
