Mexican Hero
By Chad Boyer
Ranked #818 - Men's Rain Jackets
January 9, 2011
My wife and I were "lucky" enough to go to Mexico for our honeymoon... in the rainy season! The first night we were there three inches of standing rain greeted us. This jacket was my hero on our walk to the store in a torrential downpour that night. My shoes and shorts were soaked but my upper body was completely dry!! It performed well the rest of the week and made a potentially bad situation into a lot of fun with many rainy walks on the beach with my lovely wife as the ocean kissed our feet. I never experienced any wetness and the under arm vents worked like champs! I'm so glad I sprung for the Gore-Tex! I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a completely waterproof jacket for everyday and technical use. Thank you Marmot and Gore-Tex!
