"This coat is a shell design that can be used year around. I better
coat has never been built. This one has all the right components;
under-arm zips, taped seems, storm flap over the front zip, bibbed
fully ajustable hood and storm collar and long back to cover the
bum. The fabric is trilamenate gore-tex which beads water and
stops wind dead (beside being fully waterproof). I have worn the
coat for four years and it still looks acts like it did when I bought it.
I really could have hoped for no more if I had spent twice as
much. It costs $300(CAN) and can be compared to other coats
costing $450-$610(CAN). The coat has been punished to the
max and has come out perfect every time."
