Al's Review of Outdoor Research Guardian II AscentShell Jacket - Men's
So nice to not be in a plastic bag for someone like me that gets gore-tex soaking on the inside from sweating . It really works.
Of note, the storm flaps over the side zip open to the posterior. So if you hunch over in the downpour, or sit forward in a boat, the storm flap sluices the water in. Very odd choice they made. Also, only velcro holding front storm flap at top and bottom, so a side wind opens up the flap. Nice to not have the excessive velcro catching too much, but not great in the wind / rain.
Overall, though, fits as expected, good for active pursuits, light, and a delight.
