## Aggregate verdict

A thin waterproof jacket that fits well, leaves room for a jumper, and offers good value when discounted. Actual wet-weather use is favorable, but functional details are less convincing: one hood toggle jammed within three weeks, the front zip is one-way, and removing the hood leaves an inadequately covered zipper section. Color may also differ noticeably from online expectations.
