Untitled ReviewLimitations: Not a jacket to wear on hikes or climbs that might see a lot of bushwacking or rock/ice abrasion. Also not really intended for severe mountain or winter weather.
I give the PriCip 5 stars because of it's weight, low cost and good performance for its intended use. If you're looking for one shell that does everything this only rates 3 or 4 stars.
