- Generous pit zips for ventilation
- Ample pocket storage
- Good value for a robust rain shell
- Relatively heavy and bulky compared to premium shells
- Breathability can be limited during high exertion
- Half-zip design is less convenient for quick layering changes
Yukon TR Rain Jacket & Pant
- Exceptional waterproofness and wind protection
- Outstanding durability for a backcountry shell
- Thoughtful hunter-specific cut and features
- Manages internal condensation well for its class
- Reliable performance in severe, sustained weather
- Premium price point is a significant investment
- Not the lightest option for minimalist trips
- Breathability is very good, but not best-in-class for high-output activity
