(full zip, no hood) question_276421 Wed, 16 May 2012 00:52:54 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-celeris-jacket-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_276262#question_276262 Arc'teryx Celeris Jacket - Men's<br /><br />Can anyone help on whether this would work as the only layer, next to the skin? I&#39;m looking for something that is windproof or wind-resistant, not insulated, and that would keep me freezing on downhill sections of an MTB trail, but not be too hot on the climbs. Thanks, question_276262 Mon, 14 May 2012 10:38:10 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/gore-running-wear-air-gt-as-jacket-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_276204#question_276204 Gore Running Wear Air GT AS Jacket - Men's<br /><br />Is the fit on this tighter than Gore Cycling Path Paclite II jacket? I have the Paclite in size M (a bit tight on me with more than just a tee under it) and also in size L (which is a bit too loose in the waist area).<br /><br />I am debating whether to order this running jacket in M or L.. The Paclite is a comfort fit, but it seems like this one is a BIT tighter.<br /><br />I&#39;m 5&#146;9&#39;&#39; and go between 150-155 lbs. Most of my clothes are in size M and only a few are L if it&#39;s a tighter fit. I&#39;m also 15 32/33 in dress shirts (if this info helps at all) question_276204 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:18:59 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/oakley-packable-windbreaker-jacket-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_276014#question_276014 Oakley Packable Windbreaker Jacket - Men's<br /><br />Im 6&#39;2, 175.

This jacket I&#39;ve heard is extremely wind resitant, all I need to know is how well it stands up to rain. Because it&#39;s not gore-tex this jacket is pretty cheap, so if it can repell water pretty well, and shed light snow I&#39;m happy. Also, if this is my purchase, I&#39;d wear it around town and on trips up to the mountains pretty frequently, so I need to know how much of a beating it can take.<br /><br />Thanks! question_270835 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:16:16 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/nixon-resistance-jacket-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_270337#question_270337 Nixon Resistance Jacket - Men's<br /><br />What fabric?

There&#39;s nothing in the item description about windproof-ness, even though it&#39;s listed under the windshirts category. Is the level of wind protection comparable to other ultralight windshells (e.g. Montbell Tachyon, Montane Featherlite)? question_262848 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:50:05 GMT
