Avery I. ★★★★★

Took this out in a downpour and stayed bone dry while the inside never felt clammy—the 3.5-layer laminate really breathes. The four-way stretch is subtle but makes layering and reaching for stuff way easier than my old shell.

John M. ★★★★★

The 3.5-layer laminate is the real deal—I stayed bone dry through a day of stop-and-start drizzle while commuting, and I never once felt clammy underneath. You can actually feel the vapor escaping, so it breathes like a much lighter shell than it is.

Christopher ★★★★★

Took it out in a proper downpour yesterday and stayed bone-dry the whole hike, with zero clamminess inside. The 4-way stretch makes it feel like a softshell even though it’s a hardshell, which is exactly what I wanted.
