As stated in the Gear Review this jacket is not the lightest but for use at anytime outside of high summer it is a major step forward for Paramo. In terms of comfort and breathability it beats any of the very lightweight shells. I used it cycling last week and the full length pit-zips are fantastic- the very best ventilation I have had from any jacket. Me I would still stuff a very lightweight Montane shell in my rucsac in high summer but for the rest of the year walking or cycling this is the jacket for me.
