The Alternative

By Ranked #2950 - Men's Technical Shells October 28, 2005

Although I'm a big Arc’teryx fans, I find that this jacket is a great alternative. The stretch material and the perfect cut make it more than just comfortable. The weight is almost negligible and the new seam technology is worth a closer look. The only minus is that the hood is not as perfectly adjustable as an Arc’teryx one, although it will fit over a helmet very well. Without a helmet it seems to be a little too big in spite of many adjust options. All in all it’s a very nice piece of equipment for a good and safe feeling in the outdoors.
