Review:
I haven’t used this jacket extensively for the past 3 years (usually only use it in winter on trips to the snow), but its been a great jacket so far. The gore tex is of medium thickness, so not super light but also not hard core thick. I would say its an ideal jacket for alpine climates in 3 seasons or non-alpine good in any season other than summer (would be too warm for Australian summers). 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,medium-weight Gore-Tex jacket
- great fit with easy to reach and sealed pockets
- Attractive design
Cons:
- Expensive
Comment:
A great overall rain jacket thats ideal for 3 season use in the Australian climate (autumn, winter and spring).
