Men's Fission AR Jacket
Reviewed by mister-e, Jan 20, 2009

"Ok let me start out to say that I just bought the -current- version of this jacket. I owned the first or second version that came out, back when regular gore-tex was used (as opposed to the current gore-tex pro shell) A few things have changed since I originally had this jacket back in 2002:

- updated, more breathable gore-tex pro
*not tested yet*

-cuffs changed from smooth-knit to velcro
*according to the salesman, knit cuffs stretch over time,
my fission LT has smooth-knit cuffs which have stretched a bit, but not enough to be an issue."
