Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $350 Canadian

Summary

Spent yesterday in a downpour with this jacket on and zero water penetration.

Pros

  • Great protection from the elements
  • Quality build

Cons

  • Small sized arms

Zippers are fine quality, easy slide action and no leaks. I haven't been damp with perspiration yet, so it seems tobreath very well. Fit throughout the arms is sized on the small side, so if you have thick arms your choices of mid-layers will not be an easy one.
