Verified Customer Reviews for Held Tropic XT Textile Jacket
Better than a Marrakesh in hot weather
20 Jul 2026 by Don
Lucky enough to own both and bought this on the recommendation of a friend as the Klim just didn't seem to flow enough air, when it was really hot. OK the Klim is AA rated as opposed to A but the Held strategy of flowing air through particular panels is much more effective than the overall breathability the Klim allows. The Klim is still a brilliant jacket and if I was going on a tour where the weather was supposed to be mixed, I'd take that and layer up but for warmer climes the Held would be the first thing out of the closet, without question.
