Excellent all around storm shell

By Adam Ranked #1877 - Men's Rain Jackets May 30, 2009

It seems like I rarely leave home with out the Mountain Hardwear Typhoon. In addition to frequent back country use I'm also out of town for work 2-4 days a week. This storm shell is light and packs down pretty small so it doesn't take up very much room in my pack or suitcase. Surprisingly when I weighed my XL jacket at home it came in at 15oz., 1 oz. less than listed (16 oz.). The Gore-Tex Paclite works awesome as I have used it in a couple of downpours and it kept me perfectly dry and was very breathable. The jacket also features pit zips, an exterior pocket that works well for my Ipod and the exterior pockets are mesh lined and offer additional ventilation when open. The jacket fits well I'm 6'2" 200lbs. and I have really long arms the XL offers plenty of arm coverage and is just a tiny bit baggier in the body than I prefer but my mid layers fit perfectly underneath. The Mountain Hardwear Typhoon storm shell has become my most used piece of gear it is an exceptional all around light weight storm shell.
