mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Exceptional breathability outperforms competing ultralight shells
  • K mono cut pattern reduces seam sealing and potential leak points
  • Pit zips add ventilation rare in this weight class
Reviewers push back
  • Sizing runs large and cut is generous
  • Cannot self-stuff into pocket with closed zipper like some competitors
  • Zipper positioned on left side instead of right
Reviewers agree the Versalite is a highly breathable, waterproof ultralight shell with strong feature-set-to-weight ratio, though the fit runs large and some design choices feel odd.
— best for: Ultralight hikers who prioritize breathability and feature-rich design over minimalism will appreciate the ventilation and weather protection.

Over all this is a superb jacket. H2No’s performance is excellent in cold weather (I already was impressed by its rainwear breathability of my Dirt Roamer Storm Bike Jacket) resisting wind, and condensation. The fabric is supple and silent, unlike many comparable Goretex jackets. The lack of pit zips makes the M10 more packable (into a chest pocket) than my pit zipped Dirt Roamer, but its venting Mike B. · patagonia.ca
