First hardshell
By Liz Stout
Ranked #202 - Women's Technical Shells
December 14, 2009
Great shell, really versatile. It keeps me dry on those super wet days skiing on the east coast, through anything the rain can throw at me during the year, and I'm not too hot thanks to the pit zips. Great to layer with or to wear on its own in warmer temperatures. The powder skirt is a little loose on my tiny waist (24" and I wear the small in this jacket) but the rest of the jacket fits perfect so I'm not overly concerned.
