Took this on a windy, drizzly hike last weekend and the wind didn't cut through it at all. The UV protection is a nice bonus since I'm outside most of the day, and the material feels way sturdier than my old kit.

The TPU-coated nylon really does block wind—I wore it on a blustery ridge hike and stayed warm the whole way. The UV protection is a nice bonus for long exposed stretches. Solid upgrade over my last kit.

I’ve been caught in two sudden downpours this month and everything inside stayed bone dry — the TPU coating really does its job. The fabric also feels tougher than my old gear, and the extra UV protection is a nice bonus for long sunny days on the boat.
