Just bought this jkt as a treat for my 40th birthday, normally I would not purchase clothing without trying on in the shop, with the half price sale on I spontaneously purchase on-line, I was really happy when this jkt arrived. Technically it does what it says on the label, the alpine fit is excellent meaning you don't have a volumeous jkt, this means that you will look great on the hills or down town. I have a Mera Peak and NF waterproof jkt the Axial is by far the best, buy it while it is on offer (I would not pay £320 for any jkt!).
