BD Cohesion on my Rainier Trip

By Ranked #506 - Men's Technical Shells July 22, 2009

I got the BD Cohesion for my Mt Rainier Summit in July 2009. I have to say, it functioned perfectly. I don't agree with reports of it keeping moisture in. I mean, sure it does a little. But not nearly as bad as I thought. The key is - you have to wear a good wicking layer underneath. You can't just wear cotton and expect the Cohesion to vent. I'm 5'6" - 135lbs - I got size small and I felt that it fits well. I can still wear it over my soft shell without a problem. The zippers all functioned well, even under weather stress. The pockets are well placed so you can stow some minimal items. This thing is waterproof. Make no mistake about that. I also have the Cohesion pants and used these to glacade down 2000 feet of Rainier.
