Mountain Hardwear Crucial Jacket - Men's
great for backpacking
By John
Ranked #373 - Men's Rain Jackets
January 5, 2009
I have used this jacket all over and after maybe 2 years it had a real test. 12 mile hike to the car, 30 MPH wind, along a ridge side ways rain and the high temp for the day was only 33. still water proof. I use if for more then just a raid jacket and has well over 1000 miles of backpacking and other outdoor activities. And with a velcro watch band and a little bit of rolling and folding its slightly smaller then a coke can. It also softens up and becomes more flexable with use.
Only down side is that in high winds the hood is tricky to aadjust when not wearing a helmet.
