This is a black hard shell with hood and pit zips. Excellent condition
(worn about 10 times). Labeled as medium but fits like a large. Selling
because I had a mid-life jacket crisis.

A Review
This lightweight rainshell is another first. Its 100% recycled polyester
ripstop fabric is bonded to a recyclable polyester waterproof/breathable
film, which is turn is printed internally with a slightly raised pattern.
This is known in the industry as a 2.5 layer fabric. It improves
breathability, while protecting the inner film from abrasion, without
resorting to the stiffer full three layer construction. [With 2.5's you
also gain lighter weight and compactness, but trade some durability.]
The Succinctshell packs down into a tiny bundle and weighs but 355g, so you
never need be without eco-benign weather protection. The hood, whilst
battened down for storms, still readily moves when you turn your head side
to side, never obscuring your vision. A feature I always look for in
rainwear. Though I wish the hood's front seam, where the visor is, was seam
taped like the rest of the jacket. The front zip and the underarm vent zips
are coated water-resistant zips. An amazingly detailed rear pleat provides
extra arm mobility. The spacious, zippered, hand pockets are lined in mesh
