By Russ from Jackson WY on 12/10/2007 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Thought the description said this piece had a snow skirt, it doesn't say that now but that's what I thought when I purchased it. None the less I think it will preform for it's price. I probably won't test it out in wet weather unless I am close to home.
Good for what it's meant for... By rocco89 from Ohio on 12/07/2007 Pros: Breathable, Durable, good looking, Lightweight, Stretchy Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Overall, I really like this jacket. The material stretches so nicely that any activity, (running, hiking, climbing, running to the store... etc.), all go over without a hitch. I can tell it's made extremely well, with a great deal of attention to detail. And on top of all that, it looks great.
However, the material is almost too breathable at times as wind really does slice through this thing. When I'm wearing it around town I typically layer a light fleece underneath to help insulate myself from the elements. When I"m working up a sweat, the breathability is welcomed.
Overall, I'd recommend it, just know what you're buying and don't expect a waterproof/windproof jacket.
does what it's designed to do By Pete from DC on 11/29/2007 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Skiing Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Like any quality tool/garment, it delivers on what it is designed to do. I've been wearing my Rayzar around town in cool temps and just had my first day skiing in it -- it performed great over a base layer and a thin insulation layer. I was in good conditions -- sunny with little wind, and I can't imagine a more comfortable shell for those conditions. Moreover, I know I can layer much more insulation under it and expect it to do just as well.

By JPM from Stamford, CT on 09/12/2007 Pros: Durable, Lightweight Best Uses: Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Solid softshell. While not having the weather to truly test, this jacket should be great by itself (with proper layering) in most conditions and also be a good layering piece in very cold / wet conditions.
This jacket also looks good and seem like it can be worn as an everyday jacket when the temperature is a bit cold.
