Today was the type of day in Northern VA where a shell is useful. Started as snow, went to sleet then a wet mess all why staying below 30deg.

Ive gone away from using them in the Rockies because I haven’t felt they offered anything I needed. But if the forecast was was wet snow I could see taking one again.

I did try a Kuiu Axis Hybid. Like about everything about it except the fit. A large fit well in the body, allowing room for layering underneath, but the arms were way too long. Returned it. If I decide to add another shell it will have to be a Jetstream.
