Product Description

The Carbon is a fully taped Gore-tex Paclite shell with basic features like armpit zippers and a roll-up hood. It's heavier and more durable than other jackets, so it can easily crossover into winter use, but the soft outer fabric isn't bulky like some four season shells. The ample cut fits over puffy winter layers as well.

Great jacket
I have used this in very cold, snowy, and windy condition on top of Mt. Washington. It held up great and I couldn't even feel the cold wind on my body. I have also used this on Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood, where it did a perfect job of keeping me dry, warm, and the wind out.

When I used it as rain gear for backpacking it worked great. I have worn it in pouring rain and not even having one drop get through, while still being very breathable. I would give this jacket an A+ for Wilderness Usage.
