You can't beat this shell. It is the best out there. The torsoflo keeps your cool on the way up. And nothing gets in on the way down. I love it. The hood perfect with or without a helmet. The only thing I would change is make the hand warmer pockets an inch or two deeper. The bottom of the pocket is flush with the bottom of the zipper, so if you leave the zipper open small items could easily fall out. Totally minor issue, compared to the overall product quality.
