I just got a stinger (Jalapeno) and have only used it this past weekend up at Stubai glacier in Austria, but I like it. It was real windy, but I was perfectly comfortable in the shell - there's nothing quite like Gore-tex! The color is very cool - got lots of compliments from my friends. The only thing I don't like is the collar - it's just a little to big/high for my tastes - it's too big to put down, so it's up to your nose, and if the hood is stowed in the collar, it's really stiff. I guess I just have to live with the hood out of the collar... I *do* like the way the hood goes over my helmet - keeps you warm in harsh conditions... It would be nice to have an inside iPod pocket... Overall, it's a keeper!
