> Does anyone know if the Nabu is similar to the Zion with regards to the material, or is it a lot thinner, more like the Rab Myriad?
I've got a Nabu on test for UKC at the mo'. I've used it a lot during one week of ski touring but that's basically it so far. I also reviewed the Zion last year
http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=4425 but I don't know the Rab jacket you mention.
The Nabu feels a lot lighter than the Zion but I weighed them both yesterday and its only about 100 grams difference - I was quite surprised at that. It packs down smaller and the material is a lot lighter feeling and more flexible feeling than the Zion. The hood is much better, but being bigger I guess that adds to weight.
My biggest question about it so far is whether the significant air permability of NeoShell means you can feel the wind coming through - I think you can (in difficult conditions admittedly: strong winds and probably temperatures of -5 to -10 or so, and sweaty underneath the jacket); but some friends have been sceptical of this. Would be interested to hear if other Neoshell wearers have found similar.
