Bought for mountain trips and immediately tested in extreme conditions. It keeps warmth properly at around 5-10 degrees. It insulates well from light wind, but lets stronger wind through (not surprising since it has no membrane). Surprisingly, it handles light rain very well, and even during a downpour—even though it got wet—the remaining layers stayed dry.

Great softshell. The quality of workmanship, materials, and the cut pleasantly surprised me. The outer material is a velvety 4-way stretch polyester lined with a very thin fleece. There is no membrane so it does not protect against strong wind, but because of this it wicks moisture much better and you don’t have the feeling of wearing a plastic bag. The only downside is the lack of a wind blocker behind the zipper. Nevertheless, I can wholeheartedly recommend this softshell, it’s a very solid product.
