Great Price for the Gore

By Julien Fisher esq. Ranked #15 - Men's Technical Shells February 3, 2009

I really have only used this jacket for the making amd maintaining of an ice rink(Not why i bought it tho). I really bouth the jacket because i wanted to dabble in to some Gore-Tex. I went for the performance gore-tex instead of the pro becasue of price and i didnt but the paclite because like the name, was to light. I feel like this jacket did get a good test tho, being put through the moving of pre nailed boareds (which i had a few stick in not through the jacket and was very suprised how well it held up and how water proof it stayed), the maintenance of flood lights and large amounts of water flooding in -35 celsius (never do that again). This is just a shell so i did need some layers underneath but it didnt let in any water even when i got blasted by the hose or when the snow was falling so hard i couldnt see infront of me. On the warmer days it breathed great and it was light enough to not constricted me. **All in all it isnt as light as the pro-SHELL but for the price you get a great water-proof and breathable jacket that holds up well to the elements.
