Substantial shell for exposed hiking or alpine conditions.

What owners are telling us.
A robust alpine-oriented shell with convincing protection in prolonged rain, storms and strong wind. It offers large pockets, useful ventilation and room for layers when correctly sized, but the cut combines a short torso, long sleeves and a trim body. That geometry will be excellent for some wearers and unsuitable for others. Construction feels substantial, yet current long-term durability is still largely untested.
