Just got this jacket for the 19/20 season and the new PNW fabric is amazing - soft to the touch but tough as nails! If you're cross shopping the Powfunk and the Cosmic (which I've also reviewed, so check that review too) I would recommend this for someone who gravitates to the free ride (longer and looser) side of fit, the Cosmic is more of a minimalist alpine fit. Speaking of minimalism, this jacket is far from it when it comes to storage space. If you want to pack the kitchen sink for your next shred day the Powfunk has a pocket just for that. I typically like to carry a few odds and ends while on the hill or in the slack country and could never see myself running out of space or the jacket getting to the point of too snug even when I'm loaded up for a bit of hike. I would recommend this jacket to someone who travels on the not so side of life, wants to roll in the style on the hill or off the hill when the après hit full effect, or someone who likes a fuller (more room for layers/more room to tweak and poke) cut on their kit.
