Pros: wind and water-proof, light, breathable, well designed
Cons: cost
This is the perfect alpine sports shell. Every detail is well designed and constructed and of the highest quality.
Here are a few of the things I like about it:
There is extra room in the shoulders and upper back so that you can move your arms without resistance but the waist is not baggy.
The color is visible in clouds and snow.
The fabric is totally wind-proof and water-proof, yet still breathable.
It is extremely light.
There are no liners to trap moisture.
The zippers are all water- and wind-proof.
The powder skirt fits tight and grips well.
The hood fits over a helmet.
It has plenty of pockets.
The side vents are easy to zip and unzip with a gloved-hand.
