Decent, Not Perfect

By Austin Shopbell Ranked #124 - Men's Rain Jackets April 10, 2011

I've had this jacket for a while now, and it's pretty good. I don't know why someone would give it one star for an incorrectly-labeled description, but whatever. I used it about a month ago in Zion during a rainy backpacking trip. While it doesn't shed water like a duck, it worked OK. It rained constantly (and pretty hard) for about 4-5 hours. By the time we had reached our campsite, the fabric had soaked through and my shirt and skin was damp, but it was much, much better than no jacket. I like this jacket, and it will keep you pretty dry in backcountry excursions and completely dry in quick urban adventures, but I will soon trade up to Gore-Tex.
