What owners are telling us.
A light, stretchy and conveniently packable shell that can work well for showers, wind and moderate outings, but inconsistent waterproof longevity, fragile construction reports and an awkward helmet-sized hood make it a risky choice for consequential wet-weather use.
Buy if
- You prioritize low weight, packability, stretch and freedom of movement.
- You usually wear a helmet or cap and can make use of the oversized hood.
- You want pit zips, accessible hand pockets and room to adjust layering through careful sizing.
Skip if
- Staying dry through prolonged or mission-critical rain is non-negotiable.
- You expect frequent contact with rock, brush or other abrasive surfaces.
- You have broad shoulders or want a predictable fit without trying multiple sizes.
- You need a hood that reliably stays clear of your eyes on a bare head.
