Outstanding!
Spent two late September nights and 3 days hiking in High Peaks Region of Adirondacks with rain, wind, cold, and warmth and the jacket did everything remarkably well. Shell held up through numerous brushes with branches along trails and pit zips allowed for plenty of ventilation. Perhaps best of all,the jacket stuffs into a small pocket in my pack. Hood adjustment worked great atop Marcy with 40 degrees and 40 MPH winds.

Very nice shell.
The fit is great. The body length is good and the sleeves are long, but not overly long like some other manufacturer's jackets. I am 5'8" and 157lbs and I got a medium. The jacket is very light and hopefully will be durable.
