I am an experienced mountaineer, and this jacket is exactly what I needed. So light that I can carry it all the time with me, and forget about it until the rain starts. On a first sight the material looks very thin, but it seems to be as durable as other (heavier) waterproof materials. In the very first days I had an opportunity to try it in heavy weather conditions, I spent the whole day in a heavy rain, and I was dry. It is very functional as well, it has long arm zips for even better breathing regulation, perfectly positioned hand pockets so I can use them with my backpack-belt buckled. I would definitely recommend it. Actually, I already did.

I am an experienced mountaineer and this jacket is exactly what I needed. Perfectly waterproof, ultralight (only 249 grams for S size). On a first sight it looks so thin, but it seems to be as durable as other (heavier) waterproof materials. I had an opportunity to try it immediately after the purchase, I spend the whole day in the heavy rain, and I was dry. It is very functional as well, it has long arm zips for even better thermal regulation, perfectly positioned hand pockets so I can use them when my backpack belt is buckled. I would recommend it. Actually, I already did.
