REI? I'm sure the cash cow for them is the 20% coupons that draw people in. And then the lax lifetime return policy that keeps people coming back.

This is true. These jackets are quite a bit roomier than typical fleece jacket because they are considered outer layers.

Seen a lot of threads where they recommend this. A bit pricey, but it's not like you wash the jacket every week.

I think DWR is fine as a water-repellant for a general purpose jacket, but for a jacket specifically to be used as a raincoat, I want a more substantial water-repellant layer.
