“First-class bombproof shell”

“This is actually the Lowe Alpine Fusion (not Fuse) jacket (tag on sleeve verifies this). This jacket is entirely Gore-Tex Pro Shell as the tagging and stiching in the arm state. I personally contacted Gore-Tex in the US and Lowe Alpine in the UK to confirm this. Lowe Alpine clothes are not sold in the US anymore since they are owned by the Italian company Asolo. I ordered a size M jacket which measured almost identical in size to other Lowe jackets (Treklite, Crescent) that are size S. The M weighs only 17.6 oz on my scale. The pit zips are on the triceps; two large chest pockets, no inner pocket. My jacket is 30.5" long in the back, 23" wide at the pits, 21.5" wide in the middle, and 22" wide at the bottom; sleeves are 26" long. Again, other Lowe jackets I tried in size S had the same measurements. There is plenty of room for layering and for a helmet, but the hood cinches down easy. Overall quality and detail is top-end. Excellent Velcro storm flap on front zipper and on sleeves. Very good shell for all-season use on or off the mountain and my first choice of shells.”
