Kritios Boy - 2004-12-06
Perfect Light Shell I got this jacket for 80 and it has performed magnificently. Got it for backpacking and mainly mountain biking. Had it on a 3-day in Colorado, on the second day it started hailing, then just rained all night. Sucked. But I popped out my epic jacket, stayed more or less dry (not even gore-tex XCR will keep you dry from sweat while biking), biked back to camp, and wandered around there for about 4 hours in pouring rain. Totally dry. I was indubitably impressed. The breathability is surprisingly good-I'd say the best I've ever tried. Packed size and weight are awesome. As far as downsides, I dunno...my forearms tend to stick to the coating when it's really humid out, but that's in like 90% humidity, 80 degrees in Missouri miserableness...never move here. But the Epic jacket is well worth twice the price. P.S. The pit zips are the best feature.

Outstanding ! This jacket is near perfect . It is so very lightweight and yet so warm. We live right on the water and especially at this time of the year the north wind blows long and hard off of the water yet with this on I'm really comfortable and dry.

Fantastic Breathes incredibly well. I tested inside with a down jacket underneath, barely sweated. With a gore tex jacket you'd be drenched indoors with that set up. Then absolute comfort on a cold, rainy day in the Gunks' in October. The pit zips are a fantastic feature at such a low price. Totally incredible value for a waterproof jacket. The front "GPS" pocket is a little small, but a minor detail.
