Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, May 14, 1998

"Great jacket for backpacking! Picked it up at a great price of $150 from Sierra Trading Post.

Really nice because it stuffs down to a little 4" x 8" package. Lightweight and nice features. Wish the hood was detachable but I guess you can't get everything you want."

"This is a great jacket. I bought it from Sierra Trading Post and unfortunately they no longer have any more for sale. I really love this jacket as it is constructed to last and it has all the features that I want. It is great for hiking and with a second polar fleece layer, it would make a great ski jacket combo."

"If you are looking for a hard core mountaineering jacket, look elsewhere. This jacket is over priced unless you get it on sale. I have seen them for $160, in which case it would be a good buy. Here are some of the down falls that the Tempest encountered in my opinion:

I have found that the Triaxial hood is one of the best on market, although I wish the bungee cords to tighten the hood had cinch drawcords."

"This jacket is extremely waterproof and good in all conditions. It is extremely light yet tough due to the three ply gore-tex and the reinforcements. The perfect jacket for backpacking and mountaineering. A highly technical jacket at a weight of only 20 ounces. Definitly worth it!"
