Much as I would love to say I am a seasoned, global trekker, my need was for waterproof, windproof shell for daily hour-long speed-walking in my local woods. This fits the bill nicely with generous under armpit ventilation zips and a full zip at the front giving me the ventilation needed over one or two merino layers beneath. Zipped side pockets are secure (although it takes a while to get used to them being an inch further forward than expected). I don't get on with hoods (instead wearing a waxed, wide-brimmed hat to keep the rain off my glasses). The clip mostly works to help fold the hood to an extent when not in use and tying a knot in the cords helps to tighten it closer against the back of the neck. An adjustable clasp on these cords would have been useful. I sized up because I have long arms but probably didn't need to. No regrets despite the price tag.

I have given up on Gore Tex because I want a jacket that is waterproof in the long term.
This jacket is not very breathable but it deifinitely is waterproof, and wont need regular treatment.
It packs nicely into its pocket so just wear it when it is raining!! Simple. I have worn it hillwalking and snowboarding - it does what it says on the tin
