Purchased my Raven in Dusk last summer, and used it last fall, and getting a lot of use this spring for everyday outdoor use as advertised. It was my first purchase with the brand, and I love the jacket after years of never having a suitable transition jacket. Although I normally fit in size large, the medium fits great on me (5'9, 190lbs), with ample space for layering. I'm from Ottawa, Canada and I've found that the jacket excels in the 5C-18C range, depending on conditions. With good layering like my down vest and/or merino base layers, I've worn it down to 0C if there's not too much windchill, but around there I tend to switch to my Greenland Winter. Not much experience in anything more than light rain for short periods. Fit, fasteners, colour, and design/style are my favourite aspects of the jacket. Minor points, but a metal zipper and slightly lower collar without the hidden hood that I don't expect to use would have made this jacket perfect, but it doesn't bother me, and I look forward to many years of use!
