The title says it all, These are the best water proofs I have owned along with the Westaplen trousers. They are so light weight to the fact you don't realise you are wearing them and when in a heavy down pour you wander if you will be dry but credit to Ortovox you have no need to worry. Yes they are expensive but you are paying for a top quality product along with all their other clothing and equipment.

Jacket is nice and well finished but the weight of the M size is 320g and not 280 as advertised.
Also this jacket is made in Vietnam so that was a bit of a let down as Ortovox normally make their higher end items Europe - I recently changed all my skiing stuff to ortovox (Guardian range) due to it being made in Europe - unfortunately seems ultra light/light market is mostly produced in Asia - this one might have to go back :-(
Recommend only if you can live with extra weight and production country!
