Nut Shell

Very versatile jacket. I’ve used for running, hiking, and climbing. They aren’t kidding about the cold and dry only description. It doesn’t do well in wet conditions. Great as an outer layer for most activities.

Does the job pretty well. I agree with the other review in pointing out that it is not very useful in wet conditions. It's not designed for that though, so, keep it in mind.



My gripes: the storm flap is a joke: on really cold windy days, the storm flap blows aside and the cold air comes right through the zipper area. It's not held fast with any velcro or anything. Hood design was not very impressive; and, rolling it down into a collar was not comfortable.



You can call it a good value vs. waterproof breathable jackets for those situations when you know it isn't going to rain. It is a good windbreaker (aside from the storm flap issue) with good breathability for when you're working hard and sweating.
