Absolutely incredible jacket for the alps. Can be quite hot lower down - but above 3800 metres it comes into its own - especially good when its cold and held teh wild weather I just experienced this summer in italy. Absolutely bombproof in driving snow , wind , rain and mist. Hood is perfect with helmet , jacket has excellent pocket system is the perfect weight to wear with just a long sleeve - so rab.equipment
