Primary Use: Lightweight hiking
Review:
I haven’t used this jacket extensively for the past 3 years (usually only use it occasionally on shorter hikes as i have a lot of other jackets to switch between), but its been a great jacket so far. The gore tex is of light thickness, so very light to carry and small to fold up to. I would say its an ideal jacket for 3 seasons (spring, summer and autumn) or in winter with some additional layers underneath if you just need some wind and rain protection. In the few times where it really rained hard it kept me reliably dry for many hours (lets face it, no jacket in the world will keep you 100% dry indefinitely if it just rains hard enough).
Pros:
- Super comfortable, very light weight jacket
- light and folds up small
- great features such as pockets and high collar and protective hood
- Attractive design
Cons:
- Expensive
Comment:
An excellent light weight gore tex jacket that protects you from the elements, suitable for most times of the year in Australian climate.
