Lightweight and h20 proof

By Ed Kessler Ranked #435 - Men's Technical Shells January 26, 2010

This jacket has been through rain, Wet Chugach dumps and dry blower pow. All through this it has kept it's breathability and still effectively wicks moisture away. This jacket was a good by, but I will admit a bit pricey. I don't think I would pay as much as I did for it again. The hood is huge and fits over a ski helmet easily. Don't expect much thermal protection with this jacket as it is simply a SHELL, that's it, that's all.

One major issue I have with the jacket are the pit zips. They are one way and catch on the fabric when you attempt to close them (same thing happens on the front zip as well). The pit zip problem seems to be a common mountain hardwear issue. I think this is because the fabric is so light and moves easily, which is great for riding. Anyhow, that's pretty much the only issue, albeit a very annoying one.
