Elements beware

This jacket is amazing. The fit, material, performance, everything is top notch.

For starters the fit - I am a trim fit lovin' type of guy. The last thing I want is my gear to get caught in what I am doing + slow me down. I am 5'11" 165 with an athletic build + the medium fits perfectly to my liking. I can throw on a softshell underneath or a base layer + I am ready to hit anything nature has to throw at me.

Speaking of nature throwing stuff - this jacket can take it. Rocks, limbs, rain, snow (assumption b/c it has yet to be tested), rabid raccoon...anything.

BC didnt sacrifice the material comfort in the process. Its a quiet propriety material that feels good against the skin + breathes well. The zippers are the closest thing I have to a complaint and thats only because they are so water tight it can be hard to get them started sometimes (more or less a non issue).

Also, collar has an even softer material on it so the edge doesnt scuff your face up when you find yourself wearing the hood all day.

Stop looking around + just get this one.
