I have the Elite 2.0 and it's superb. RE: comments about fit----the Elites are cut closer than the touring jacket----the latter is a much looser cut which some may prefer, but then it would flap in the wind. The Elite is cut sensibly but not too close (but this is always a matter of body shape too). With the right layers the Elite is fine into low single digits----here in our part of Maryland it rarely if ever gets below 0-F so I can't attest to the serious cold conditions, but for the weather we do have, this jacket is perfect. Excellent wind block, breathes as well or better than anything else out there. As others have also noted, it doesn't have an attached hood and that's how I like it. Never use a hood, even in the rain. A good poly or wool head warmer or balaclava is fine- - -head gets wet but stays warm. Hoods block peripheral vision and for me, that's never good.
