I am a fan of Baleaf products. The quality is phenomenal and the pricing is even more impressive.This jacket recently went on a sunrise hike with me and it came out on the summit as a windbreaker. I had the same insulating layer as I'd hiked in and just threw this on over that. It was about 25 degrees with a 30mph wind. I was VERY comfortable after layering on this shell! I had dry insulating layers in my pack, but really didn't need them.After watching the sunrise, I left this shell on while rock scrambling through some very tight areas and a cave. I feared it would be scuffed or even ripped - buy obviously the warmth was more important than a jacket. However, it withstood the scuffing and scrubbing against that granite and still looks brand new!My cousin immediately ordered one after seeing the performance of this jacket in DRY weather!But its a rainshell, so people probably want to know if it staves of precipitation... it does! I wore it the next day in some mixed rain (light and heavy at times) for a run and it not only kept the cold rain off of me, I feel it was quite breathable (I run pretty hot).Overall, another amazing product from Baleaf.
