First off, I wasn't sure about the colour but its not as white as it looks, more like a very pale silvery grey. I haven't worn it long enough to see how dirt shows on it. Many reviews complain about the lack of adjustability on the hood and cuffs but I actually like this elasticized design better. The hood fits close to your head and isn't big enough to fit a helmet (I don't need it to be so pro for me here. The cuffs also stay put on my gloves and fits well. I have small wrists so no issues there. I am more a S/M and OR M puffy jackets are a little loose on me. This M jacket with a thin puffer under it is on the snug side. The stretch makes it comfortable though. The material looks like it will hold up better than the thinner helium I have which wetted out on me. This beads off water easily but then again, it was a short hike and its new.
I purchased this Jacket for a Canadian High Arctic Cruise. I needed completely waterproof and windproof. I fulfilled my needs. It is roomy enough to wear a puffercoat underneath. The side zippers allow for added mobility and vents. Zippered pockets kept by phone completely dry. Hood sealed down tight and kept my head dry in the harshest conditions.
LOVE this!!! Beautiful jacket... Bought a size small, I wear a small or 6 on most brands. Wish the jackets was a little looser around the hips. But great all the same!
I've only gotten to wear this a few times in pretty mild weather, but I love the fit and it has worked great so far!
