I really like it and find its almost perfect in cold windy conditions in combination with a light rain shell. It works really well on its on when highly active. Horribly fragile though, does not like scrub. I am on my second right now...

If you have a few spare spondoolicks floating around try a Rab Pulse Hoody (105gms) under the Nitro (125gms) -nice.
If you want it warmer stick the Pulse over the Nitro-yes it does happen-this alpha is majestical.
I sewed a wee elastic tag and button on the throat of the pulse-now I can walk with a cravat and my throat is warm!
Now you have honed your sewing skills on your other Nitro Zapruda your sewing skills will make a cravat on a Pulse a fait accompli
Also just bought another.

Maybe I’ll turn the old Nitro into a singlet for summer Hmmm Gladiator. I like it.
Where does one get one of these majestic Rab hoodies? It’s exactly what I’m looking for at the moment.
