I have a bunch of there gear, Its very very good stuff so far with limited testing. Went out yesterday in sideways rain and lots of wind, Open (ish) walking, creeks and sitting on a slip for quite a while and i stayed dry.
I had my chugach nx but used it as a gound mat and it worked well.

Was wearing there attack pants and Guide jacket. Was dry as and very warm.

I've got a Ridgeline Roar 2. I used it this Easter, it well and truly raining and it did well to keep me dry and blocked the wind well. It was a tad damp on the inside but I think that was mainly sweat. The microflece sweater I had underneath was still nicely dry and I wore them both the next day, whilst the coat was a tad damp it wasn't waterloddeg and kept me warm and dry again. I was very impressed, due to costing me $200 from 1-day. Heaps of good pockets and is quiet too.
I've got the Roar 2 pants as well. They kept me warm and dry, but due to me usually only ever wearing shorts they were sweaty as, but kept the water out and kept me warm.
Got them off trademe second hand so I'm pretty stoked.
