I like 5.11

I tried on their taclite pro pants and they are a good fit. They're not cotton so won't shrink and very breathable based on pants of similar material that I do own.

I've had a 5.11 Tactical 5-in-1 Jacket for about 4 years now. I think it's a solid jacket and well worth the price. It would have been nice to pay as little as $70, but I paid more than $150 IIRC and I'm happy.

I've used it in many configurations in wind, mist, rain and snow, and have kept dry.

Unfortunately I can't recall what materials are used in the construction of a 5-in-1 Jacket.

For me it's almost always an urban use Jacket, but I've used it on hiking and camping trips as well.

I think the only difference I noticed with the version you linked and the one I bought is that mine came with a safety vest that can be packed in the back storage pocket.
