I would appreciate other suggestions, particularly for jackets that are longer than the usual waist length that has become usual in ultralight jackets. I do run hot and I'm looking for a jacket to be used mostly March to November which from this review rules out this jacket.

On first impressions the Ajax certainly has the feel that it can handle a good amount of abuse, with noticeable toughened areas, especially around the shoulders, where the 70 Denier fabric has been added. Featuring a helmet-compatible hood, zippers for underarm ventilation, and cleverly positioned pockets that offer easy access - even with a harness on. We were skiing untracked, light powder, and despite wind chills around zero Fahrenheit or below hammering us for hours, I felt dry, warm, and almost completely sealed off from the inclement conditions in this all-season shell.We can accept goods back for exchange or refund only if the goods are of re-saleable quality and all labels and relevant paperwork are present. A four-season shell for extreme conditions, it’s one of the toughest jackets on the market, made with 40-denier fabric reinforced with 70-denier fabric in high-abrasion areas: the shoulders, arms and chest.

The helmet-compatible hood is one of the best-fitting you’ll find, embracing and moving with your head, with a stiffened brim that keeps blowing snow and rain out of your face.All HydroDRY fabrics are manufactured to give you, the wearer, the very best in waterproof, windproof and breathable technology.
