I have this jacket and it's great in many regards. It is lightweight, warm, windproof and quiet (no "swish-swish" noise when you walk). It has a lot of pockets to stashing things. It has drawstrings to tighten up all the loose areas to make it nice and snug.
About the only downside is that the main zipper is too small. Plus, since it opens at both ends, it is a bit tough to engage. These need a beefier zipper, but otherwise it's a great jacket!
I have the Condor branded version of this jacket and while I have heard that there are some differences in the brands, it's a very similar jacket. I used this jacket on a solo cross-country motorcycle trip, setting out in the beginning of April of 2013, crossing the lower half of the states before making my way up the coast of California into Washington and then back across the northern states making it back on the 28th of April. I used this as my main outer shell while I rode and it saw every weather condition you can imagine during a cross country ride in early April. It breaks wind good and although not 100% water proof, I never got wet in the rains of the Pacific Northwest. Warmth-wise was fine as long as you layer and I can say that I was comfortable riding for hours at a time in 30 degree weather with 50mph winds and also able to shed layers and ride in 70-80 degrees and stay cool. The biggest feature of this jacket I would have to say is the pockets. I stored many of my maintenance tools like wrenches and tire repair kit right in the jacket as well as lots of GoPro accessories and camera. I also had my cell phone, wallet snacks and maps/papers stuffed in the right breast pocket. I chose not to use a GPS so the ability to store maps and notes in a quickly accessible area really paid off. The big front pockets can store a moleskin notebook. The lumbar pockets I used to store extra gloves and a hat for when I took my helmet off. I would say this jacket is a 10/10 for the price. I has since held up without any durability issues. It is nicely patina'd with motor oil, red clay from OK and sap from the redwoods of CA. I still use it for range trips and I'm thinking of picking up another similar jacket in black.
