First off... this jacket is awesome. I've owned two of them. The 1st was accidentally left behind and the second (my present) serves me well despite a minor flaw (it has a twisted cuff at the wrist) doesn't sound like much I know, but it becomes irritating cuz the cuffs are elastic and cling to your wrists like rubberbands. I'd rather have velcro honestly. Plus when you consider the cost (80+ bucks) you shouldn't end up w/ a defect...

Anyway, on the plus side, I got caught in an unexpected 10 hour hail/rain storm while trekking the Andes in Peru and I stayed bone dry! Despite this not being a "rain shell", it worked great repelling wind AND rain. I was pleasantly surprised and can honestly recommend it as a reliable piece of gear.
