'GOOD QUALITY AND ABLE TO WITHSTAND ALLWEATHERS'
Strengths:
Really comfortable jacket. Great cut and good features - a viable alternative to Goretex.
Weaknesses:
Wristabkns tighteners have come adrift after a couple of years use but thats about it!
Overall:
Obviously not as breathable as Goretex or Event though I dont tend to notice that much. You can buy something more lightweight but this jacket has a good qaulity hardwearing feel to it.
