Excellent! This was exactly what I was looking for in a waterprooof shell. Nice looking, functional, with all the basics (pit zips, adjustable hood/cuffs/waist), but without all the bulk of my expedition-grade jacket and no massive logo. Perfect for every day, in-town use. A classic. OR delivers perfection once again.

Not waterproof! OK, so this is my first Goretex shell, imagine my surprise when I found out it isn't waterproof! I wanted to use the shell and matching pants for sailing in wet weather, I couldn't believe it when I was soaked after about 20 minutes. I am back to wearing my $80 waterproof gear. Yeah the cheap gear gathers moisture on the inside but at least I don't get soaked. Gore-tex is a well advertised rip off. Ok the jacket looks nice and seems to be well made but its not good for much beyond going to the store on a misty night. Bahhhhhh, what a waste of money!

Excellent design I'm 5'11' and 200 lbs. and the large is a perfect fit. For a hard shell this jacket is surprisingly supple. It is light and allows great freedom of movement. The pit zips are huge for efficient venting during increased activity. Before buying this shell I never liked hoods that folded into collars. This jacket has changed my mind. The design around the neck is superb and the hood moves well with your head to effectively avoid obstructing your vision. The Gore-Tex Paclite makes for a thin and extremely comfortable shell. The rain flap covering the zipper is not encumbered with annoying velcro, but rather, is effectively designed to cover the zipper without it. I'm really impressed with this shell and am thankful for the thought that Outdoor Research put into it. It's an easy 5 stars
