Just wondering if anyone has gotten their Vertice rain gear and have any real world experience with it yet. Besides a couple “first looks” their isn’t much out there yet. It’s been a few months and I noticed some were in the bargain bin already.

Any real world experience with the Zpacks Vertice yet?

looking for the same info, had  previous versions from zpacks, and now need replacing, and held up for review on the trail
Still amazing to me that no one has reported. We’re into July and you’d think someone has some time in it. However, I think the physics won’t be magical, it will wet out after the DWR blows out. I’m waiting for someone to properly use the Columbia Outdry of Goretex Shake dry technology.
A couple of reviews for the Hyperair, not just out of the box impressions:
The North Face Hyperair GTX (aka GTX Shakedry) – First impressions & short-term review from Ultralight

That review by Arne is great, and is what has prompted me to try out the HyperAir. Just have to organise to get one to Aus now, as it’s a US exclusive unfortunately! Pretty keen to try something which isn’t reliant on DWR, which I assume will wet out on the Vertice as alluded to above.
