The Ampato jacket is great for what it is meant for, which is back-country trekking in pretty foul weather.

Pros: This jacket is super breathable, even from the moment you put it on! I am based in Borneo, where the humidity is pretty much 100% all day everyday, and the type of rainstorms we get here are the types that cause flash floods, so you can see that having a good waterproof and very breathable jacket really counts.

I really love the face fabric, soft and almost rustle free, and there are more then enough pockets to suit my needs.

Cons: The fit is a bit strange. it seems to be a bit tight behind the shoulders, and the hem seems to rise up every time I reach for something. I wear a size M for everything, and in this one I find that the sleeves are a bit short.

The face fabric being very soft make me question it's overall durability, especially for what i use it for, which is a rain shell for my days at the local crag. It just doesn't seem like it can take too much abrasion from rocks and stuff.

Verdict: I love this jacket. The Air permeable factor is what does it for me. It looks great too, very subtle and not too flashy. Worth every dollar!

I would recommend this product.

I spend a great deal of time outdoors for work and recreation. Finding a high quality jacket that functions well as a windbreaker/raingear jacket is essential. The Ampato is the finest jacket I've ever owned that meets these criteria.

It's durable, comfortable and highly functional. It's a handsome jacket on top of all the other highlights. I've received several comments while wearing it around town.

I would recommend this product.

Replacing a North Face shell of the same weight. This is a much better constructed item. Have worn it with and with out a second layer and without it's comfortable down to about 45.

I would recommend this product.

I've had this shell for a month and I've only been able to use it between 40-75 degrees F, but I'm very impressed with DRY-Q Elite. The first thing that I noticed was how nice the soft hand on the outer shell fabric felt.As I used it in a variety of settings, hiking, camping, primitive fire building, climbing boulders up a waterfall and mountain biking I found that I was always able to regulate my body temperature and not overheat. I loaned it to a friend and she commented on how much warmer it was than a lesser shell I had loaned her. The amazing thing for me was the comfort range of the jacket on it's own. I felt warm with just the jacket down to around 50 yet I didn't overheat when I was mountain biking or bouldering around 70 degrees.
