Love how functional, yet stylish this jacket is. It could be (depending where you live) your all in one jacket. For going to work, or climbing a mountain, or biking. It’s been -20C where I live, and with the right layering, it’s been great! Breathable, yet keeps the wind chill out - and doesn’t become mega crunchy like most jackets (this has more of a soft crunch). The waterproofing is amazing!! W Jonathon B. · altitude-sports.com
