The jacket is very good, its lightweight, Even though its considered HardShell - the shell is softer than you would expect but holds water very well and has great wind resistant abilities. The venting zips are quite long and easy to be opened and accessed. The jacket is very well sewn together, seems to be sturdy and robust even thought I consider it light, it has beautiful details and color, used materials are really high standard.
Overall it´s high quality jacket you can rely on in bad conditions.
The only disadvantages I found are that the size S (which I usually wear) was tight around armpits so I had to order M which suits me great. I recommend ordering a bigger size than you normally wear.
The second disadvantage is the pocket zipper and main zipper are sometimes hard to operate and have a bit higher resistance then usuall, but I guess it´s because they are waterresistant as well. However venting zip under armits are very smooth and easy to operate.
