That good? Been reading reviews on it and it’s only the shiny look to it I’m not a fan of.
Yeah it's really good, almost went for it over the Patagonia. Couldn't find it for decent price back then.
The system is so good, i know someone who has one and it can withstand anything and doesn't get saturated after x amoutn of hours inn the rain. The shiny is necessary cos it's a solid barrier keeping the wet out, unlike the other big brands, it's not based on the PFC chemicals for waterproofing/ whicking, which always wear off and need re-doing. So in the long run it's better.
Also better environmentally cos PFCs are ... scary and horrible.
