Looking for your experienced based recommendations on a new hard shell. My old shell is wearing thin at the shoulders and it is time for a new one.
The use and features I am looking for are:
Winter above tree-line use.
Multi-day backpacking in spring and fall.
Attached large hood.
I prefer a parka length, not a jacket. Say 32" neck to hem.
Waterproof/Breathable
Tough material and construction. Something that will last years. ( I am cheap but preferr demonstrated quality over price anytime.)
Interior water bottle pockets would be nice.
My search of the site was unsuccessful. I appologize in advance if I missed an earlier posting on this subject.
Thanks for your input. Comments on what not to purchase are also welcome.
