Best Jacket Ever
By Badgerette
Ranked #674 - Women's Technical Shells
February 15, 2007
I reluctantly spent the extra money on this jacket and have been very glad that I did. Compared to other hard shells, it is much more flattering, and I don't feel like an outdoor geek when I wear it to out on the town on rainy nights. The Gore-Tex XCR is the best; I've worn this in a complete downpour for 4 hours and didn't get wet. When it's a bit warm, just open the pit zips. The hood is big enough to go over a bike helmet, but can be adjusted to fit just right. Really really thrilled with this purchase. HIGHLY recommend. Worth every penny .
