Surly, this is what Grog had to say about another Descente jacket. Wonder if it the same color? She didn't elaborate on the material issue.

(I just received it though, fast shipping, great job TE ladies!)

I was a bit disappointed with the color. It's really more purple than blue, and won't really fit any of my other gear. I don't really like the way it looks, nor do I really trust the material... Just a bad feeling. I won't wait to wear it on a Vancouver wet day and be disappointed. So I'll try the Gore Passion Plus now. Thanks for the hint JmcG.
