Gear Review
The envy of Reinhold Messner
By Benjamin Herndon
Ranked #285 - Men's Technical Shells
October 27, 2008
Extremely breathable and ultra-light. This shell eats thunderstorms for dinner, and by that I mean it keeps you dry-as-a-bone. Alas, it is one of the declining number of Arc'teryx products still being made in the land of the mounties. I'll be eating pine cones and moss on the trail to balance out the cost though. I look forward to testing it further in the next few months.
