What owners are telling us.
A highly packable running shell that performs convincingly in cool, wet, and windy conditions, but waterproofing is not dependable in every current-generation example. It suits fast movement better than casual use, provided the athletic fit, sparse storage, hood, and prominent branding work for you.
