Finally got a shot at testing the Weathertop.........a little cool, breezy and misty for todays ride (low 60's with the wind chill.....brrrrr  ;) )

I am impressed (of course I am).........just the right type of shell for working hard when conditions don't warrant gore-tex.

I liked the collar style........I was able to zip up and block the wind. But what was truly nifty was the underarm pit zips..........plenty of ventilation helped keep me from the constant problem of overheating which I find inherent in similar type garments. Definitely a winner..........perfect top for paddling and biking.

As for sizing.......I purchased both a medium and a large with the intent of sending one back. I'm 5' 9" / 185 and while the medium fit OK I liked the freedom of movement the large offered. Velcro cuffs keep the arms from being to long, plus I can have more options as per layering with the large.

Yup the piece is no doubt pricey.........but I anticipate many years of usage (possibly a lifetime) and can see this piece being employed on a regular basis.
