Summary

For someone who sweats a lot this is the jacket. The breathability of this jacket is excellent. Also the wind block of it is excellent. Have not seen it in rainy weather yet.

Pros

  • Breathable
  • Excellent materials

Cons

  • Runs small

This is an excellant hard shell. The membrane works as they say.  As soon as you put it on it starts to breath.  Blocks out the wind very well.  

Have used it for hiking in the winter in Alaska and has worked well. Other jackets get clammy and you feel wet inside but have not had it with this one yet.  

Would recommend it to anyone especially if they sweat a lot.

Summary

Breathability and durable in a lightweight shell.

Pros

  • durability
  • breathability
  • looks
  • multiple sport use

Cons

  • cost

I got this shell to replace a TNF Gore-Tex shell and won't go back. This thing works on bike rides in 50 degree weather with little clammyness  to snowboarding all day in the cool morning to the warmer afternoon.

Cut great for a harness for mountaineering and light enough for backpacking when you know it's gonna get wet out (but you stay dry).

I got mine at a great sale but I believe it stands up to any jacket in its price range.

This style of belay devices is named after this product. It's the Q-tip of climbing. I think my ATC came with a big belay locking carabiner back when I bought it. Read More »
