Quality construction and awesome color (plume grey) but I found this jacket to be too long in the arms and if you're not wearing a helmet, the hood is huge. Definitely something you'd want in the alpine but since most of my climbing takes place in the warmer months, didn't really make sense for me to keep it since I wouldn't be able to wear this as a normal rain jacket. For reference, 5'5", 29" waist, 39" hips, ordered/returned medium (this is a slim jacket and medium was the correct size for me minus the arm length).
Zippers made so this item stuck out from my body to create an odd shape. I have broad shoulder and a smaller waist, so I have to buy a medium in women's jackets. That contributed to the even more unflattering shape when the draw string on the bottom was pulled. Quality material. Long arms. Large hood to fit over a helmet. Under a pound. Two way zipper great for belaying. When zipped up and the hood is up, it goes up over the mouth.
