Need to know

Decent breathability, should be durable as it's made of Polyamide, good weather protection considering it's a non-membrane fabric, feels good on and a generous length too.
 
Hand warmer pockets sit low enough to interfere with pack belts and harnesses, bulky thumbloop and Power Stretch cuff construction makes for excess flab at the wrists, no hood on this version, though hooded Boiga Hood is an alternative.
