Got this as my first jacket and have been using it in the heat, in rain and in freezing weather. It really is the one jacket for all situations.

The only thing that bothers me is that the shop where I got it only had it in black. The other colorways look a lot better!

I went on a trip through the Ardennes and the weather was horrible. Hailstorms with hail sticking to my visor and lining the street, half an hour later sunshine. Heavy rain a whole day long.

The rain liners did their job. The pant liner has an elastic to keep it in place and I was able to put it on and take it off over my boots (with a bit of struggling). There also isnt any v cut. The water didn't puddle anywhere or creep in. Actually, the only parts of me that got wet were my fingers because the gloves were absolutely waterlogged!

Maybe you had a different model liner?

Oh, I'm sure the liner that came with my pants would work, if I used it. I've just never had to, with my current system.

The liner in my old ARC pants definitely didn't work to keep rain out for long...
