I used the version before PRG 2.0 for 3 years and now this newer one has been in use for about a month. An excellent jacket, of course it shows in the price. It's a bit of a shame that this new one has places added to both arms for arm badges (adhesive surface/velcro). On the right hand side, the zipper flap sticker sometimes sticks to that surface. It doesn't hurt so much on the left side. Maybe those velcro surfaces should be designed again, because in the first version they fell apart and look the same here. But it really went under the warranty, so at least at this point I won't drop any stars.

So far, an excellent jacket, the fabric is a little different from regular goretex, it feels more heavy/robust. Size wise its spot on, spacious body, little tighter around the arms, and a little but longer on the sleeves is perfect when stretching/reaching out. Overall build quality is what you can expect from Carinthia.

To my surprise, the jacket feels significantly more "plastic-like" on the outside than comparable jackets from leading mountain sports manufacturers and therefore rustles more. Unfortunately, I can't find any information as to whether it is a 3-layer or 2.5-layer hardshell. Unfortunately, the weight information is a bit understated. But in terms of functions and number of pockets, that's okay. The jacket allows you to wear additional layers underneath. Although I took a size larger and am of "normal" build, the PRG could be a little wider on the forearm near the elbow. I fear that the narrowness there could create a cold bridge. All in all, I would give the jacket more than 4 stars. However, it wasn't enough for 5. The optics are very good!
