The switchback is really light, really comfortable to move around in. (The fabric (nylon/spandex) is hard, but very elastic, like thick paper)I feel like I'm not wearing another layer of clothing if I'm using it. It's good protection against rain, okay against wind, but not at all for warmth. The collar and wrists are lined with a really soft fabric. Overall, I got it as a gift, and wouldn't pay 150 dollars for it myself, but if you want a REALLY lightweight, REALLY comfortable jacket that will protect you from some water and a little wind, (And you have 150 to spare) then go for it. I love it.

AWESOME SHOE
PRO: very sticky rubber
great edging
velcro=convenient :)
the price is unbeatable for the quality
wear slower than Mugens
CON: Smearing could be better, maybe it's me..
make sure you get the right size. I got mine a little bit small and was regretting it, but they do end up stretching out a tiny bit, which made all the difference for me. MAKE sure you buy a bit smaller size than usual!...

If you're looking to save some money, it's a great deal.
PRO: really lighweight, doesn't take up much space. Plenty of gear loops. The material seems really sturdy.
CON: Watch the crotch when taking a fall.
