By Ranked #295 - Men's 3-in-1 Jackets November 8, 2009

First off, I have the 2007 model. Shell + Liner with no baselayer (read: T-Shirt) is good for me to about freezing. Shell breathes well enough with armpits unzipped that I use it as my raincoat during the spring and cooler summer days. Can also use the liner by itself (I guess that's implied by the triclimate design).

Hood isn't helmet compatible, but the shell does have a powder skirt. However, if you zip the liner in to the shell, you loose the skirt. The liner has hooks to snap into the sleeves of the jacket, so I usually just stick to those, and zip the liner and shell up individually (rather than together). The liner stays in place, plus I have my skirt.
