Good enough

My girlfriend bought this for me around 35$. Ive told her once and I tell her all the time DONT BUY ME GEAR! And this Jacket is a perfect example.

My experience with this jacket so far is good enough for going around town and being close to a home base; work, home what have you. Why? Because it wets through fairly fast, the hood is huge, and the neck line fully zipped is horrible.

On the pro side it did keep me dry and warm. But in an extended hike or being outside for long periods of time this jacket does not cut it. Fresh out of the packaging in some spots it wetted through.

The neck line for this jacket is almost a deal breaker even for 35$. It comes up to the mid point of the neck, I personally hate anything that dosent reach the chin. It chafes the heck out of me and its annoying to have something around that area.

I didnt want to hurt her feelings but I would of rather had her save the 35$ and put it toward something useable, I would have pitched in the rest. Cheap gear is not a good idea at any time. If she paid pull price I would of flipped out and called Sierra Designs to let them have it. This is my first garment from them and im not impressed at all. I think its a good deal at 35$ but anymore and I would of have her return it.
