It is really light

By Ranked #182 - Men's Rain Jackets September 30, 2008

OK, I'm updating my past review. I've been through some intense rain with this jacket and have found that it likes to soak in water along the seams, especially in the cuffs and the waist of the jacket where drink seems to gather. I'm not too sure how long it normally takes a rain jacket to dry but this one has taken more than 8 hours after a heavy storm (and that's when it was being hung out, in humid weather). I've checked my seams and have found that they are inconsistant. Oh, and when in heavy rain the hood also drips water down into the neck when it's pulled tight. It is really light though. I'd say it's a decent 40 dollar jacket.
