Mountain Hardwear Exposure II Parka - Men's
Tough as nails, but something wet was on the inside.

I haven't yet used this jacket for snowy outings, but I've used it plenty for rainy ones. The jacket has kept me almost bone dry in complete downpour. A few times I have found myself wet on the inside, which could be a result of a couple of things 1) condensation (cold outside/heat inside), or 2) rain getting inside the jacket through the hood. Either way, it holds up most of the time so I'll keep on using it. The jacket itself is LOADED with pockets, I always find new ones when I wear it. The outer material seems like it can hold up to anything, save a buzz saw. It's a great jacket, and definitely beats out shelling more money than I have for a goretex shell. The lack of a star come from its somewhat incompressiblity and lack of breathablity in warmer temps. Good shell for winter, rain, and knife fighting.
