Just saw that Ultimate Directions has a new WPB Jacket called the Ultra Jacket. 5.9oz mens, 5.3oz women's. 13,000 head presure 26,000 water vapor. It has pit vents, 2 hood vents and built in mittens. 48gsm 20D HexNylon Fastbreath Ultraâ„¢ Fabric. Nice features for the weight and full zip, (a must for me). Here's the video on it. http://ultimatedirection.com/p-643-mens-ultra-jacket.aspx#ProductReviewAnchor 1
love the mitten idea! I never could figure out why no one else copied Haglof's thumbholes in WPB jackets – this might even be better. Since it's a running jacket I'll be very interested in how well it actually breathes…but holy cow I thought the Rab Flashpoint was expensive!
Cool jacket. Change to pit zips and, assuming the jacket is long enough, you have a winner.
A good pit vent is better than no vent at all. I have a jacket with pit vents and it works. I would size up for a longer fit and the ability to layer. I'm between a med and large anyway, so it's not really a full size up. I'll wait for the holiday season to see if it goes on sale. $99 – $129 maybe, sold…
The torso length looks pretty short, which is commonly an issue IMO on light rain jackets.
nice jacket, but after comparing it to the Rab Flashpoint- HH 20,000 MVTR 40,000 and 3 layer- just a 1/2 oz heavier- I went that route (Flashpoint isn't cheap either, but found a good sale)
