## Aggregate verdict

A versatile, soft-feeling shell that has handled sustained rain, snow, cycling, hiking, and skiing while leaving room for layers. Its short, wide shape divides owners: some find it flattering and mobile, while others find it bulky, heavy, or awkward at the neck. Choose it for adaptable four-season use, provided the relaxed proportions suit you.
