I love the lining to this shell, the little bit of warmth gives it more versatility. The removeable hood has a soft lining for comfort as well, 3 point adjustable, will easily fit any helmet. Plenty of pockets, includes an inner sunglass pocket not listed. Front zipper and chest pocket have sealed zippers, inner storm flap on front zipper. Pit zips are mesh covered and aren't very large (aprox 9 in. long). Drawsting waist with pulls inside hand pockets. Gore-tex pro shell speaks for itself as far as breathability and water/wind proofness goes. Only complaints are that the flaps that covers the zips on hand pockets face the wrong way, wish the powder skirt was removeable.
