Katabatic Nails It   03-28-05   

I bought this windshirt on a last second impulse buy as I was about to fly to Chile to trek the 'W' in the Torres del Paine. While I didn't get hit with the notoriously windy conditions the region is known for, this jacket provided a layer of warmth and wind protection that is "must have" if you think there's going to be any type of breeze. If you are currently a fleece/hard shell combo person like I was before, this is a critical piece you can pair with the fleece for all but the coldest climates and its a little more manueverable that the hard shell on top. It has excellent water resistance, though if it starts pouring, it will get soaked and take about a day to dry. Very stylish, I think more so than the other windshirts, and you can wear it around town and dont look like your coming right off the trail. Zero complaints on this end, I strongly recommend picking one up.
