Best jacket I've ever owned
The summary says it all. This jacket stuffs into the size of three tennis balls, and is the only jacket I use for Minnesota, Chicago, and Michigan winters. It's amazing.

The perfect backpacking jacket?
I bought two of these jackets from Altrec...one for backpacking/kayaking and one for urban/mall wear. I used it for a Wind River/Wyoming early summer trec.and an early season, week long Voyageurs NP kayak trip in wet/windy weather. Stuffs very compact into it's own pocket...extremely light weight...is water proof (tested in downpours)...fits big enough to layer under if the layer is not too bulky since it is overall somewhat of an athletic fit. I usually wear a large and ended up with 2 mediums since the cuffs allowed the sleeves to slip onto my hands too far. I love the tighter fit the mediums allow but maybe most would like the "average/normal" fit which you get by ordering your actual true size. I tried many many jackets and with the weight/fit/compact stuff size not to mention being extremely attractive (tons of compliments) I had to order another one...it was that great!!
