I know it says it can be used in summer weather, but has anyone actually tried it during hot summer storms? Or would I be better off with buying a lighter jacket with more poncho like material?

Mike is right that if it gets warm enough, just about everything is hot. I will say this, however... This felt the least plasticky and it was breathing long before my other 2.5 layer pieces from the past ever could. Omni Tech is breathing better, faster, and more quietly. The Greene Trail is the men's version and they both tout flex composition in strategic areas that still breathe like the main body does.

My wife has this jacket and she wears it during summer storms. The pit-zips help keep her cooler on the warm days. If it is really hot you are going to sweat as you would in about anything.
