Joe Flannery's review

This is my favorite day-to-day shell for urban and mountain town living. It is not the jacket I reach for when I am heading into the mountains for serious technical use, but for just about everything else, it is excellent. It keeps me dry in bad weather, looks clean enough to wear around town, and has a versatile, understated design that works just as well running errands, traveling, walking the dog, or heading to dinner in a mountain town. What I really like is that it gives you real weather protection without looking or feeling overly technical. A lot of shells are either too alpine-looking for everyday wear or not functional enough when the weather turns. This one hits the sweet spot. It is lightweight, comfortable, easy to layer, and dependable when you need to stay dry, making it an ideal jacket for everyday life in places where weather changes fast.
