What owners are telling us.
A light, highly packable shell with convincing performance in torrential rain, humid conditions, and exposed mountain weather. Breathability and pit-zip ventilation suit running and fast hiking, but fit deserves care: one tall owner found the hood restrictive, another needed to size up at the chest, and some found the sleeves long. The thin fabric has handled brambles for one owner, though longer-term toughness remains less certain.
