Light but sturdy compared to 2.5-layer jackets where durability has become a problem for me. Minimally pockets which I like because I don’t want a backpack under my hip belt for anything extra. Simple and functional protection for surprise rains. Doesn’t take up too much space in the backpack when you mainly have a spare to carry along. I didn't really find any breathability specs, but this one gets less wet from the inside than my previous shell jackets, which had to have really good breathability properties based on the numbers.
