Another Salomon Classic Many were the years I tried to find a clothing company oriented to the needs and wishes of its athletes, players, sports enthusiasts you name it. I'm a Salomon fan, because they do what they say. Design for freedom. And this jacket is a perfect justification. I own a Bonatti jkt, which I reviewed some time ago. The pro is a different animal. Closer fit, greater waterproof abilities, closer to body fit. Regarding size, there is a roomier configuration almost everywhere compared to the S / lab Hybrid jacket that I own as well. Roomier in both the waist and chest area. Not much, but just a tad. Which is what makes it ideal for trail running. Freedom of movement at it's best. I liked the extra length (L size for me) in the arms, keeps the most part of the hand dry. Can be used in winter training. Regarding waterproofness, this is the classic 2.5L format that works brilliantly as I have just tested running 10kms on a rainy and windy day. The jacket keeps the wind out efficiently and handles the body sweat nicely. Just a tad more rainproof than the S / lab Hybrid. Hood. Perhaps it's the weakest point, because everything else is perfect. It does not float and move around, of course it does not come out of place. The S / lab head band system is second to none. So I would like to see a light fastener or a fastener-cord on the next model, to keep it in place. The use of a cap makes it much more steady. I tried it along with my Saloomn waterproof cap and it was a nice combination. When not in need, I kept it under the collar, zipped it completely and it stayed there. Fantastic, highly recommended! ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.
