Ranked #1747 - Men's Technical Shells
December 22, 2008
This HyVent shell is nice and durable but noticeably heavier than say, a Gore-Tex TNF Mountain Light. That being said, it suits my needs perfectly for everyday wind/waterproof protection. I layer it with a TNF Pumori fleece for added warmth. Great combo.
