Owners praise the jacket's wind protection and layering capability, but water resistance falls short of expectations—light rain penetrates within 30 minutes despite marketing claims.

Buyers' weakest aspect (water resistance) directly matches the gap between product marketing and real-world performance that reviewers flagged.

In their words

Habe die Jacke ausprobiert und bin sehr zu frieden, da sie sehr Winddicht ist und auch Wasserabweisend bis zu einen bestimmten Punkt ist, also nicht Wasserdicht! Ich nutze die Jack in Kombination mit einer Dynafit Blacklight Primaloft Jacke, was für mich die beste Kombination ist.
