Why Torrentshell?
I needed a durable performance shell for when I first went travelling around SE Asia. After trying one on in the Ellis Brigham store in East London I could tell it was well-made and of good quality. It was stronger than any other jacket I’d previously tested and it was the first jacket I’d owned with taped seams and made of 100% recycled nylon. It was going to come in handy for the torrential rains I’d encounter in Indonesia while riding motorbikes and hiking through rainforests.
How did it do?
I’ve used it since on the South Downs Way and various other hikes and it’s still as good as new in terms of the stitching and build quality.
How breathable is it?
