The summary

What owners are telling us.

A comfortable, lightweight shell that packs easily and performs well in wind, showers and many sustained wet outings, but it is less convincing for hours of relentless rain and its helmet-oriented hood and fitted cut will not suit everyone.

Buy if

  • You want a light, stretchy shell that can stay in a hiking, skiing or commuting pack.
  • You value pit zips, adjustable cuffs and easy movement during active use.
  • You can size for your intended layers and will use the roomy hood with a helmet or deliberate adjustment.

Skip if

  • You need dependable protection through prolonged, continuous downpours.
  • You want a close-fitting hood and collar for use without a helmet.
  • You need hip-belt-friendly pockets or a chest pocket.
  • You want generous hip and mid-layer room without sizing up.
