Made of the finest materials available, it features design and construction details specific to serious alpine pursuits. Two event waterproof fabrics - strategically placed nylon rip stop and nylon taffeta - feature Direct Venting technology: water stays out while perspiration vapor escapes through microscopic nano-vents. Named for Lakpa Rita Sherpa, the "Best Sardar in the Khumbu" and our chief mentor and gear tester. To date, he's been to the summit of Everest 17 times. And counting. A legend in his own time, Lakpa Rita was the first Sherpa to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents. He also happens to be our toughest critic and gear tester. This jacket is named in honor of him and it's our best waterproof/breathable hard shell - period.
Seams are placed strategically to avoid chafing under pack straps, belt, or harness. Large zippered hand pockets can be used to ventilate the core

I have had this jacket for quite some time now and it has been fantastic. I use it for everything from raingear to skiing and it works great for ever use. It's breathable, extremely waterproof, and lightweight but sturdy at the same time.
