Super...mostly

By Ryan Can Ranked #3031 - Men's Technical Shells January 17, 2006

This is a nice shell. I love the feel of the fabric; it sheds water like a hard shell but offers no insulation whatsoever, so you must layer below around 40F. Also, it is not gusseted like the Gamma MX, so it does ride up if you lift your arms. It accepts layers much better than the MX and looks great. Hood is welded, and I had no leakage in a rain storm and a snow storm as I tested it out. A bit short cut for guys over 5ft 10in (Large was just acceptable on me in front, back is fine). All in all a great jacket that outshines most others. Also consider Arc’teryx Gamma MX and Patagonia Dimension in this category.
