Untitled ReviewAs it's a single layered jacket you don't get any ice-up, as with two-layered jackets. It's very breathable, and the pit zips are *very* generous, which helps a lot. It's very much a technical jacket, so there are only two map pockets with strong velcro, so backpackers might prefer something with handier pockets. There is a very good hood with a wide, stiff brim. One point I especially like is that all the drawcords are secured to the jacket, so no flapping cords, and the adjustment things (what are they called?) are always in the same place. One very minor irritation is the lack of a convenient place to tie on a compass!
I think they've changed the name of the jacket this year (not sure what to).
