Favorite Trail:
the twister
Duration Product Used:
tested or demo'ed only
Strengths:
LIght, flexy, warm, stops a hurricane or -20 below knives of wind. Comfy.
Weaknesses:
No vents or side / pit zippers to open this thing up when the mosture starts to build. Need to be really cold to wear this making it a very specific use jacket.
Similar Products Used:
none similar but searching.
Bike Setup:
GF MT TAM, Marzocchi
Bottom Line:
This is a great jacket but I'll only be able to use it 1 to 2 months out of the year. I'd like something more versitile and it's pricey, this high tech stuff. The outer material will hold dirt and not clean very easily is my opinion. This is a rich guys jacket, for someone who is not going to brake a sweat or go through mud. Maybe it's better for roadbiking(in severe cold) on clean roads or something like that. I sweat like a pig int this on two different 30-35 deg.Fahrenheit days on single track and I usually don't sweat at all(hardly). Ask anybody. Well, it's a quality jacket and does what the name says. I'll give her a 4 since the versitility could be better with a couple of zippered vents.
