excellent parka under heavy rain

January 16, 2008
Used my brand new parka in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, while trekking from Ushuaia to Harberton, across the Andes and down to Lago Fagnano.
The three configurations were useful. No condensation inside. No rain passed through, although we had 6 hours per day of continuous pouring rain.
I missed not having zippers below my armpits for better ventilation when heavy trekking under the rain.
Overall, excellent.
I am buying the same model for my wife.
