Sierra Designs Exhale Windshell Review

The Sierra Designs Exhale Windshell is a wind breaker designed to keep you comfortable in light winds and gentle rains. In our comparative testing, we found that it was the lowest scoring jacket, and based upon many of our findings, we believe that this jacket was designed as more of an “around town” piece than a piece for technical performance. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but typically we find that gear and clothing designed with outdoor performance in mind tends to score better in our performance-oriented field testing and metrics. While some of the features on this jacket are very useful and not found on any other wind breaker in our review, we had issues with the wind and water protection, as well as the fit. For people looking for a somewhat more subdued and fashionable jacket for around town, this is a viable option, but if you want the best piece of clothing to keep you warm and dry on awesome outdoor adventures, we wouldn’t recommend bringing this jacket with you.
