Jun 14, 2011 at 5:40 pm #1749267I Find this Jacket to be pretty solid. If this was constructed the same way as an Arc'teryx Alpha SL I probably would never buy another style of jacket. Best jacket I've used under $200(Retail) I paid 90 for mine.
Jun 15, 2011 at 5:17 am #1749448Unfortunately, the GoLite online store is out of the pants and almost out of the jacket (limited color selection).
Jun 15, 2011 at 6:47 am #1749477If you go up one notch to the Golite Kenai you get velcro wrist closures instead of the elastic. I don't like the elastic either since I can't vent my arms.
Jun 24, 2011 at 8:57 am #1752850It's great to see more fabrics reaching the market that actually do what GoreTex has only promised to do for approx 30 years.
Thanks for the review.
Jul 5, 2011 at 2:49 am #1756040"A waterproof/breathable membrane (in this case the Pertex Shield DS) is laminated to one side … "
Just to be picky – a PU coating isn't a membrane – and the Pertex marketing blurb quoted specifically states that Shield is a coating.
Sep 21, 2011 at 10:42 am #1781658I just receive one. I was amazed that it doesn't come with a pocket that acts as a stuff stack. I figured I was looking at something wrong and I contacted Golite and they said….sorry…it doesn't have one.
