• 'First I tried it out in the snow. The jacket was extremely windproof and did a solid job of keeping my insulated jacket and underlayers dry.'
• 'I went storm chasing and set out in the cold rain and “semi-snow” —  and the jacket performed great. I was dry and breathing with the jacket. The hood had excellent coverage and kept my head dry.'

• 'It is rugged too. It got caught on a nail and tugged.  I was so sure I would find a hole ripped through my beautiful pink jacket, but upon inspection there was no tear anywhere.  Not even a pull in the material.
