This jacket is Great! I wore it on a hike to the observatory on Mt. Washington and it performed very well. I must say that it could use a little more breathability but that’s not to say it doesn’t breathe at all. It is very water resistant. I got caught in about a half an hour of pretty strong rain and it held the water out; however, you have to remember this isn’t a hard-shell. It will hold water out when the DWR finish is fresh, but when it wears off, some water will probably find its way through. It also works great as a casual jacket as well, its comfortable, versatile and it looks pretty good. I can’t speak of its durability, haven’t had it long enough to say. Overall, it’s an awesome jacket!

It is very effective against cold, rain & wind.
Its a good professional looking jacket, I bought to fly in. I am in & outside a lot & it tends to get hot pretty quick. I wish it had armpit zips. I just have to take it off before going inside or before I know it I am sweating.
The zippers are difficult to use quickly, but thats just the drawback of water proof zippers.
I tried this product out this last weekend on a warm ski day, and the soft shell just did not breathe at all

The material is rugged but comfortable and light. The color tone of lava was better than I expected. This jacket looks better in person than in the pictures. No restriction when moving your arms around. Highly recommend
When in doubt on choosing which jacket to take on an outting... the Synchro is your answer. I love how it is completely waterproof. It feels like it would easily wear out though. However, I have put it through many days of intense rock climbing, rough edges, repelling, you name it, and it shows no signs of wear. It is light in weight and packs down small. Whenever I'm not sure which jacket to use I ALWAYS bring my Synchro. The sleeve pocket is not so easy to use. I find that it opens easily but requires two hand to close. It is a more form fitting jacket so layer for really cold days may be a bit of an issue. With so many colors to choose from, you'll probably buy a second (I did). I have not tried the hooded version yet. I think that this jacket married with a hood may replace 90% of the jackets in your closet.Overall, 5 stars.

This jacket has replaced my casual jacket, my polar fleece, and my wet weather - snow boarding jacket, all in one compact light shell. What else do you need.

Sweet softshell & great value for the buck. This jacket loves to climb ice!

This jacket will have a lot of days on ( and of) the slopes. I wear it all the time and I get very positive response from people.

This really is waterproof although the only down side of that is no hood, but my OR hat solves that. It's warm, comfy and very stylish. MH has done well.
