Bombproof for Serious Use | |

Bought this jacket recently as a full-on winter waterproof. Living on the Atlantic coast of Ireland I need a jacket that will rebuff howling Atlantic gales, and the horizontal rain that accompanies them. From past experience, Gore-Tex Pro Shell gives that little bit extra when it counts. | |

Great jacket (i have an older version) | |

I have a somewhat older version of this jacket, but have been very happy with it. It's light, looks great, has held up to much hiking brilliantly. it breaths and holds out the wind so well. despite lots of encounters with tree branches, i have experienced no tears or even blemishes to the material. the zippers and the taping or welding or whatever it is -- these are all still in perfect shape! | |

I got this as a replacement for my older Mammatus which had a collar problem. It is a huge improvement over the previous model - Gore Tex Pro Stretch is fantastic. It is much thinner than last years model but feels just as durable - and is much more flexible. I have not had it on a hike trip yet, but have done some cold weather biking / off-road unicycling with it and can say that it is very breathable - and warm at the same time. I took a long Vespa ride last night in the 30's with a Marmot Ama Dablam jacket under this shell - I was very warm, I even ran into flurries on the return trip. The shell is extremely windproof and waterproof - the new wind blocking powder skirt is a nice addition as too. | |

Great Jacket..Better than other hard shells because it has the powder skirt where others do not. The pockets a great and easy to get to with a backpack on. You can see in the picture but there are also pit zips under the arms along with the 4 pockets on the front. | |
