Tough... but well mannered

By DMM Ranked #322 - Men's Technical Shells November 21, 2006

I picked up this jacket for my brother and he raves about it. It's essentially an updated Pillar jacket, but with a few improvements that make a big difference. The fabric feels really tough, yet has a soft hand. It's very well designed - even some of the same details that they've had for a while are just a little nicer - improved map pocket/"flash pocket", thinner storm flaps, improved pack pockets, etc. They've even added a wire to the brim that makes it shapeable. The only complaint (from me, not from my brother, mind you) is that the pit zips are single-sliders vs. double-sliders. It isn't a big deal, but it can't save much on weight, so why lose the option. Lastly, we use our gear for serious outdoor pursuits - mountain climbing, skiing, and (my brother) with the local Search and Rescue team. He's used it a bit this fall, but he really looks forward to using this jacket this winter.
