TrailVerse^™ Gore-Tex^® Waterproof Hooded Jacket

The TrailVerse jacket is a high quality shell that keeps moisture outside the way a G-Tex fabric shell is supposed to perform. The one-pull hood cord adjustment is excellent, along the lines of an Arc-Teryx shell design. Roomy enough for layers (I purchased an XXL), especially for winter snowshoeing. Snow falls off and rain runs off, what more can you anyone ask for. I recommend this jacket.

I like the fit and color of the jacket. The articulated arms, length of arms, length of jacket are nice. Could use more pockets. However, there is a major problem. I have had two of these jackets and both have the same flaw, the main zipper. I returned my first jacket to the store that I bought it at because the zipper would not un-zip. I figured that I just got a "lemon" because my prior Mountain Hardware jacket purchased in 1995 is still working great without any issues 30 years later. I got a replacement TrailVerse jacket and the exact same problem exists where the zipper will just not unzip when the zipper is at its lowest point. It can take 5 min of jiggling to get it unstuck. Since this problem has occurred on two jackets, I have to conclude that the TrailVerse zipper is fundamentally flawed. I would not recommend to buy until the zipper issue is fixed.

Excellent jacket, amazing materials and construction. The size seems to be on the large size so you may want to size down. I'm 6'5" and 210 lbs. and usually wear a large or X-large depending on the sizing. This jacket feels quite large in size large. Kept me dry and warm on in the Dolomites in a big rain storm.
