Pro Reviewer:
Jon Morgan is a UK based Guide, living in Sheffield, currently working as a doctor, though a short working week allows him plenty of time for long weekend activities. Most of his guiding in the last few years has been on rock in the UK and ski touring in the Alps. He is the the only practicing doctor in the UK who is also an IFMGA guide.
“This is an unashamedly technical fleece and has lots great features. In a supersize world it is great to wear a garment that is such a snug fit, easy to get things off your harness and pockets that won’t get buried beneath it. It has decent length arms with thumbloops and integral hood that fits well under a helmet. The fabric is tough and relatively windproof and I haven’t managed to trash it cragging yet. One disadvantage is that on a more comfortable figure it may be a little tight on the body. It also isn’t that light but its features and versatility more than makes up for that.”
