'Good fit and soft hand, It isn’t stiff like many hardshells but functions like a hardshell for snow sports, as well as a rain and wind shell for the rest of the year.'   Peter Reese, Active Junky - Full Review 'The Garamba is, without question, the most wind-resistant shell tested in the last 36 months.'  Dave Marcus, Engearment - Full Review  'I definitely felt air movement through the laser-cut vents, especially the rear ones, which moved moisture away from areas that don’t normally breath so well.  No precip got into the laser-cut vent holes – they’re a winning feature on all counts.'  'Mishmi Takin got a lot of things right with the Garamba.  Using an air-permeable membrane was a good move.  Laser-cut vents should be adopted industry-wide.  Fit is spot on.' Trudy Zufelt, Outdoor Adventure Gal - Full Review  'I prefer the jacket for night winter trail runs.' 'I have three jackets I like for trail running but the Garamba jacket keeps out the wind best.' 'The Garamba breathes better than other waterproof jackets' 'The Garamba jacket outperforms my other jackets in wet rainstorms or snowstorms.'
