Love it, I am happy to say that this is one of the best jackets I have ever purchased. I am currently living in the Alps in Switzerland. Outside temperature dropped to -10°C one night so I thought I would give my new jacket a test run, I decided to take a walk around the resort. The snow was up to 8inches deep in some places and a moderate breeze really kept the temperature down. I Zipped myself inside and clipped the buckle around my waste. As I reached the top of the village I tripped on black ice and slid some way on my back and elbows. When I came to a stop and stood up I inspected the jacket, there was not a mark on it and other than a little bruised I was also fine. This truly is a hardcore jacket, plenty warm enough and the water proof breathable fabric is perfect for the job! The only thing I would say is that the jacket is heavy and expensive but if you can cope with the weight, and your wallet with the cost and you need a jacket ready to deal with anything you can through at it, then this is the jacket for you.
