I ended up returning this jacket to REI after I took a fall, and all of the powder skirt loop thingies ripped off. Granted, it was a big fall... but I wish the snaps would have just come undone... thank you REI unlimited return policy!

Other than that, I thought the jacket was pretty nice, and had a lot of handy features (tho nothing that unusual). The waterproofing was okay, but the fit was a bit short in the waist for my height... possibly a reason for the powder skirt failure? I think they've lengthened the cut for 2010
