No experience apart from a fondle in the shop, but if you haven't seen it in the flesh I would try it and see if you get on with the hood. The peak is stiffened but it is still pretty floppy compared to most other brands. Not a huge issue if you're wearing it with a helmet though. Another tiny niggle is they don't use a 'fold over' chin guard. Otherwise I agree, it is substantially cheaper than similar climbing oriented jackets in a tough, 3 layer fabric and I would definitely consider it for my next one.
