Awesome Light Jacket

This Jacket is awesome. First off, it keeps you dry. If you get hot (I live in the Tropics) there is plenty of ventilation provided by the mesh lined front pockets (nice and long) and the very long double pit zips. Its work great with a pack even in hot weather. When things get cool, close all zippers and everything is sealed. When I first got the jacket I was a tad skeptical. It is quite light and somewhat thin and the interior kinda looks like a plastic bag sort of (in most forums people complain about this) and feels a tad clammy on bare skin but it isnt bad. But man, it works well. Once you use it you just know it breathes and lets water vapor out. The jacket also is not that quiet when you walk with it but again it isnt bad at all. It actually feels good on you. Besides the zippers the typhoon has a very nice hood. I tested with my C.A.M.P. helmet and works perfectly. Regarding fit, I got a Large (im 6-2, 190) and fit is a bit loose (good for layering) and long enough to be quite nice with a pack on. Overall a really nice shell that is light and packs small but still has great features. Just what I wanted.

I have yet to know if there are durability issues but it doesnt look/feel too flimsy on the outside.
