What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The 10,000 mm water column and 10,000 g/m²/24 hours breathability figures are manufacturer claims, not independently verified performance. The description elsewhere prints breathability as “10 g/m²/24 h”, which conflicts with the manufacturer section’s 10,000 g/m²/24 hours. The listing also varies between “Puez 2.5l Ptx” and “Puez Aqua” naming, so confirm the selected item corresponds to model 00-0000028615.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller share are one-star and the available sample is limited. Without customer comments, these figures do not show what buyers liked or why some rated it poorly. For buyers, the jacket’s stated weight and shell construction are clearer decision points than any assumed customer experience.

The supplied listing describes it as a 2.5-layer shell and does not specify insulation.

It states a 10,000 mm water column, fully taped seams and waterproof zips. These are manufacturer claims, not independent test results.
