Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional
The Ferrosi excels as a windshell for thrashing through a thicket or while rock climbing. This is not a regular softshell you might use for ice climbing, it’s much lighter. Instead of taking a nylon windshell, this will have better movement and will be more durable. It’s good for mixed climbing where you need extra mobility and less bulk. I wish it came in more colors – I already have a ninja suit I practice my dark arts in. I also find it’s hard to roll my sleeves up which is kind of a drag, but my forearms are pretty thick, so this is likely not an issue for everyone.
