Gear Review
One of the best shells out there...but EXPENSIVE
By Michael Yeung
Ranked #123 - Men's Technical Shells

I do a lot of backcountry skiing in Whistler and interior BC and i can't think of a better jacket to use. The jacket keeps you completely comfortable and shielded from the environemnt even when the conditions are deteriorating . Breathes exceptionally well and has a hood that you can ski with while having it up.
