Great for outdoor activities
Very good looking totally waterproof shell!!! Living in Alaska, this is perfect for my atv riding. It rains here a lot and with a little layering underneath, it can't be beat.

Not waterproof!
OK, so this is my first Goretex shell, imagine my surprise when I found out it isn't waterproof! I wanted to use the shell and matching pants for sailing in wet weather, I couldn't believe it when I was soaked after about 20 minutes. I am back to wearing my $80 waterproof gear. Yeah the cheap gear gathers moisture on the inside but at least I don't get soaked. Gore-tex is a well advertised rip off. Ok the jacket looks nice and seems to be well made but its not good for much beyond going to the store on a misty night. Bahhhhhh, what a waste of money!

Great shell jacket
Another excellent product from OR. The light weight and durability makes this a must on all trips. The fit is great worn with a fleece or alone. The pit zips are a little tough to open and close but the Elixir is definitely waterproof.

Excellent!
This was exactly what I was looking for in a waterprooof shell. Nice looking, functional, with all the basics (pit zips, adjustable hood/cuffs/waist), but without all the bulk of my expedition-grade jacket and no massive logo. Perfect for every day, in-town use. A classic. OR delivers perfection once again.
