Great jacket for the price By Grafton from Leesburg, VA on 11/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Waterproof Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: $30 cheaper than the same jacket by North Face or Marmont. I've owned both brands, and the jacket is just as comfortable and waterproof.
well made and as a shell has many uses!

By Mike from Chicago, IL on 06/23/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight Cons: Doesn't Breathe, Inadequate Protection Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Decent jacket for a budget rain protection. Breathability was okay under normal conditions and medium activity level, you will get wet from the inside under heavy activity though. It is waterproof and seams are taped but the zipper is not waterproof, nor is there an adequate storm flap. Hood tends to be a floppy, would be nice to have some more adjustment (the jacket does have cinch cords to close the hood opening).
The biggest downside is that the DWR coating was not, well, that durable. The jacket wets out quickly, especially after some use. Campfire smoke absolutely eliminated any beading and washing did not seem to bring it back.
Bottom line, get it if you can find it on sale and want something cheap but still servicable, but I'd save up for a better shell if you're concerned about staying dry in sustained bad weather.

By floater from Houston, Tx on 02/06/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The jacket was made very cheaply. It resembles one of those $20 ponchos you buy at [...]except with a few extra zippers.
