It's been out for a while now, so anyone got any input on its durability? I'm looking for a summer waterproof that will spend most of its time in my pack. I currently carry a Haglofs LIM Ultimate paclite jacket that weighs 242g.
I hate giving money to the TNF monster, but it's hard to disagree with that weight.

Hi mike
I have been using one of these anoraks as my primary rain jacket for the past year. The construction and fabric is fairly sturdy, to the point where I don't really worry about rough handling the jacket or hiking through dense brush. I have yet to have any degradation of the waterproofness whatsoever and the anorak performs as it did on day 1.

Thanks Phil.
Most of my hiking is off trail, so i was wondering how it would hold up in rougher country. I don't plan to rock climb in it, but it will be exposed to the odd bush or two. :)
You've kinda eased my worries about it being too fragile.
Cheers.

I've spotted a good deal on a Large, but wonder if it would swamp me.
I'm 5'10", 41/42" chest and 34/35" waist. The TNF sizing chart says a Large is 44" chest. Do they run true to size?

Mike,
I have TNF Diad, which I believe is the same as the Triumph, but as a full zip jacket. IMO durability should not be of concern to you. As to sizing, I am 42" in the chest and size Large fits me nicely with just enough room under it for my Montbell Alpine vest.
