NorthFace Verto Jacket

Has anyone used one of these for bacpacking? Most rainjackets weigh in at 12 ozs. Except for Dry Ducks. It's kind of pricey at $99 but it weighs 3.5 ozs, and if it's durable it could be worth it for its light weight. TIA. Mark S.

The Verto is water resistant--not waterproof (is anything???) I bought the Marmot Mica at 7 oz. Great jacket and vey good with water and wind.
