In reply to jethro kiernan:
Funnily enough I’ve recently got one of these in for review, only for us to have an extended dry spell - as such haven’t had a chance to fully test out its waterproofing capabilities.
That said, I can comment on the general fit + feel. The cut is, as you would hope from Rab, exemplary. There’s limited to no lift, despite it being well fitted around the shoulders + underarms. I could see myself using it for a wide variety of activities throughout from spring to autumn, ranging from running to a ‘just in case’ piece whilst climbing.
However, all of this is arbitrary if it stays dry, so bear with - the rain (and the review) will come sooner or later!
