Well worth the $$$$$$$

Ranked #2924 - Men's Technical Shells
January 25, 2005
This is by far the best hard shell I have ever owned. I've hiked up teton pass in jackson,wy many times in the past month in every concievable type of weather and this jacket always performs. The fit is great, it never gets in the way of other gear. It is also indestructible. I've run into trees, rocks, and jagged ice and this jacket doesn't even show a scratch. I've used this primarily for backcountry snowboarding and it works great. I'll be interested to see how it holds up in spring and fall rainy conditions. Thanks for a great deal Backcountry.com.
