Sierra Designs Hurricane LT Parka - Men's
SD's Hurricane Will Blow You Away

Ranked #99 - Men's Rain Jackets
September 13, 2004
I got by without a rainshell for awhile but I finally got caught in a 3-day rain storm on ONP's wilderness coast this year. The wind made my emergency poncho useless. So, I decided that I needed a light-weight, compact rain-shell that didn't cost $200. I couldn't be happier with Sierra Designs' Hurricane LT. You can vent under the arms and through unzipped pockets to keep cool. The short hem keeps the jacket out-of-the-way while climbing rocks or on more difficult trails. The hood could use a stiff brim and the fabric could breathe a little better, but for the money, it's a great coat.
