## Aggregate verdict

Buy it for a lightweight, flattering travel shell with pit zips, secure pockets, and compact storage, but confirm the fit with your intended layers. Many owners stayed dry in demanding rain, while others soaked through quickly. The unlined-feeling interior can become sticky against bare arms, and repeated reports of peeling waterproof material create a real longevity concern.
