I have now got 8 days with this jacket, and I must say that if you see one on WM and are thinking about a new jacket, pull the trigger.

The OP is a great review, and I completely agree about the functionality of the hood/collar. A few windy days, warm days and days with sleet. The jacket was plenty waterproof, plenty warm, and the best part : anything that WAS wet at the end of the day, the jacket was bone dry by the time night riding opened up!

I too got the medium, but am a bit bigger than a few who posted about it before, I am 5'9 but 190lbs. Still fit great, lots of room to layer.

Only complaint is that with the media pocket on the outside, your device can get cold fast and kill the battery.

Look for it on WM. I got the black one for $49 today on WM. They had black, tan and violet like colors available.

15 day update! Jacket is still awesome, no new issues except....

The zipper tab broke...insert paperclip. Emailed them with a few pics and got this back the next day:

"Sorry to hear about the broken zipper. There was a handful of wrong zipper heads that our factory put on some of the shells. Sounds like your was one of those. Anyways we can ship you a replacement zipper head. Please shoot me your address and we will get it shipped out ASAP."

Good product, good CS.

I'll update this too. My season is over due to an injury last day of vacation in Telluride but the jacket still shows no signs of wear and I purchased it before the season started. Wind hater hood was great up on the higher parts of Telluride too.

Also the cocona base layer has been the most odor-free garment of clothing I've ever owned.

I have the Night Witch pullover shell and the quarter zip baselayer, both have been awesome all season. The only negative about the pull over is that it doesn't have an inner powder skirt, just some cinching at the bottom hem. Been staying pretty dry so far though.
