Look it up, this is very intriguing. May well address the breathability problems that people have had with their UL Wind Parka/Jacket. Well, that assumes the "40-denier ripstop nylon" stretch panels on the sides are more breathable than their Airlight stuff, which is heavily calendared.

Full-featured, still pretty light . . . could be great.

Hey has anyone tried their Crag Jacket or Stretch Light shell stuff? Both look like they could be really great lightweight soft shell layers . . . could fit the niche left by the Prospector Pullover, which I thought was really great. Although I suppose these could be more wind-resistant than Cloudveil's Inertia.

I like this wind shirt very much. It fits nice and the hood fits really well too.Also the hand warmer pockets are big enough to hold maps.It breathes pretty well and is fairly water resistant. I tried the UL windshirt from Montbell and it was too small for me in size extra large. The minstral is large enough to fit my down inner under it no problem.
