It has excellent material thickness and design. It is superior to many jackets in its design. Great length. Sizing is excellent. It permits layers without discomfort. Form followed function nicely.
But the down side and it is seen in some other jackets. The collar is all but a waste. You can leave it very open and hence have a very exposed neck; or you can zip it to the top which is very uncomfortable (not useable). The collar should be an inch shorter in the front, and more flexible. That would make this a perfect jacket. Many soft shell jackets get it right. This one is not useable.
I would love to see that one improvement. But I guess that does not help me here.

The Vertical Jacket made by Marmot is by far the best value for the money. I have looked at comparable jackets for the price but the Marmot brand stands out in durability and quality of construction. Hands down...my first choice for outdoor gear!RM

This jacket is very nicely made and fits true to size. It includes a removable hood and powder skirt, both of which are useful. With just a t-shirt under the jacket, It's comfortable walking around town when it's 35-60F. Any colder, I usually layer with a light wool/cotton sweater. It is also a great windbreaker. I can't speak too much about the water resistant properties yet.I have yet to try this while skiing. I imagine it'll be comfortable without too much layering, especially when doing the activities. Might be a little cold on the lifts.
