I got this jacket about 2 years ago and have loved it since the first day I wore it in the rain! It is fully waterproof and very breathable. I once spend an entire day working in the summer rain and didn't get wet or clammy. Its so light and packs down so small that I never hesitate to throw it into my bag even if there is only a slight chance of rain! The fabric is thin and can't take a heavy beating, but it can easily withstand normal abuse from camping and hiking (just don't go bushwhacking in it).
The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the zipper is tough to start at times, which is no fun when you get caught in a sudden shower.
