Well I don't know what everyone is talking about...

By Austin Shopbell Ranked #125 - Men's Rain Jackets April 7, 2010

While I can't attest to how this jacket does in the rain, I can address several concerns with this jacket. There are quite a few reviews that say "this jacket will rip if if brushes against a twig," or "not very tough at all." I don't know what these people are talking about. First time I wore the jacket out, I wore it as a windbreaker for a ride. I stumbled on a jump trail, and hit it too hard. The third jump, I didn't get my front wheel high enough, so I endo'ed into the landing zone. I landed on my right shoulder and rolled about 3 times down the jump. While my shoulder is tore up pretty good, there isn't even a nick on my jacket. And it definitely should have torn. So while I can't address how the Epic does in the rain, I can tell you that this is one tough jacket...I love it.
