I've proven this Gore-Tex jacket in the rains of Southeast Alaska, and I've been amazed by how well it performs. Although Arc'teryx recommends this jacket for periodic emergency use due to it's lightweight nature, it's exceeded my expectations on backpacking trips, boating excursions, and just around town. It's very lightweight but durable, making it perfect weather protection in the backcountry when it counts. I've noticed that when the rain is blowing sideways water eventually seeps through the front zipper, but that's only happened once and is to be expected. Overall it's a minimal but extremely reliable rain jacket.
