## Aggregate verdict

A capable alpine shell with convincing wind, snow, hood, and ventilation performance. Waterproofing is the key reservation: one owner stayed very dry, while another reported water entering through the main zipper after two hours of rain. The generous cut supports layering, but unusually wide or long sleeves may frustrate some buyers. Construction feels substantial, though current use does not establish long-term durability.
