Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - Women's - 2009

Sierra Designs gave the Women’s Hurricane HP Jacket fully taped seams to keep you dry in a downpour and enough pockets to hold the stuff you want within reach. Far more important though, Sierra Designs understands how much you love the trail. That’s why it built this jacket with 100% renewable energy. Now, get out there, drop your iPod in the internal pocket, crank up your favorite tunes, and hit the trail.

Bottom Line: Protects from rain and saves the earth.

What does the the 5K waterpooof rating mean? Other jackets are

What does the the 5K waterpooof rating mean? Other jackets are "guaranteed" or only 1K.

Hi Susan. Any time you see a "(number)K" rating for waterproofing it refers to the water column test. This fabric is rated to stop a 5000 mm water column over a 24 hour period of time. Any more than that and the fabric starts to leak.

I highly suspect you've seen ratings of "10K" not "1K" as the latter seems ridiculously low. That just means the fabric will withstand a 10000 mm water column for 24 hours. Most fabric are in the 10-25 K rating. We're starting to see some 30K jackets out there and even the odd 40K, but they are not widespread yet.

Gore-Tex does not use this type of testing to "rate" their fabrics so the waterproof rating of a Gore-Tex piece is "guaranteed". That means if it leaks, they will warranty it no questions asked.

Write your question here...I recently lost my Sierra Designs

Write your question here...I recently lost my Sierra Designs rain jacket. It had a lumbar pocket which I thought was great. Does this jacket--or any other rain jacket--have the lumbar pocket?

Does anyone know the difference between this jacket and the North

Does anyone know the difference between this jacket and the North Face Venture jacket? I'm going to school in Bellingham next year and need a good, packable rain jacket.
