My son will be attending college in Boston next fall. Would this be a good option for walking to classes in the rain? Is this fabric as waterproof as gortex? Thanks, Pam

this is a pretty senior-ish jacket, i think both my grandpa's have one...nothing is as waterproof as goretex but some fabrics get pretty close, HyVent is good stuff, id suggest something simple like the North Face Venture jacket or Venture Parka (longer) made out of BETTER HyVent material and looks like a normal rain jacket

It is a decent fabric, not quite as good as goretex, but it will definitely work. Most guys I know don't like the longer length of the jacket, so if this is a surprise, I would take that into consideration.
