It has performed extremely well in New Zealand (always a good test), in Iceland and more recently in Scotland. Being able to unzip the sides from the bottom and put it into "poncho" mode can be useful when it is a bit warmer but still wet.<br /><br />I also bought the full zip Alpine trousers from OR that match this jacket. They have been good too, though have seen less use, as it has to be quite bad to wear them when hiking. <br /><br />However I did use them frequently in Iceland. One thing I particularly like is having two zipper sliders (up as well as down) for the fly. Handy when you have a pack on.<br /><br />I would have liked to have wear patches on the knees, but I guess that would make walking a little harder. Just need to be a little careful when putting a knee on the ground - such as when tying a lace.<br /><br />On the jacket I would like to see a clear patch on the left wrist so I can see my watch. Next model maybe?Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14501220869948502155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508867429704452724.post-80564434179383343052015-02-09T20:42:39.701+00:002015-02-09T20:42:39.701+00:00Hello,
