The summary

What owners are telling us.

A capable climbing and mountain shell with excellent mobility, ventilation and harness-friendly features, but the unusually long fit and inconsistent long-term water repellency deserve serious consideration.

Buy if

  • You climb or use a harness and want high pockets, long sleeves, a helmet-ready hood and a two-way front zipper.
  • You need room for winter layers without giving up stretch or overhead mobility.
  • You value pit zips and breathable performance during hiking, touring, or spring skiing.

Skip if

  • You have a shorter torso or dislike a hem that can reach toward mid-thigh.
  • You want proven water repellency after several years with minimal maintenance concerns.
  • You prefer a minimalist shell without pit zips or extensive climbing features.
