Received my delivery on time, with great customer service and no issues with ordering online. I was very happy with the quality of my Rab Nexus Alpine jacket. A few borderline flash floods gave me an opportunity to test out the jacket's waterproof capabilities, and it did not disappoint one bit. Pieces of paper in my jacket pocket stayed completely dry, whereas paper in my backpack got soaked. I also stayed completely dry, which is of course the most important. The Polartec Neoshell material is brilliant and highly recommended in the way of both waterproofing and breathability. However I do recommend an insulative midlayer for the purpose of keeping warm whilst hiking/trekking in weather ranging from just below mild to very cold, since this jacket cannot be relied on for that. (Insulation is not the purpose of this jacket so that wasn't at all expected).
