User Review: Moonstone Sauvage Jacket (1994)

Reviewed March 21, 2000 by Karl Rahder

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Fabric: Three layer Gore-tex
Price Paid: $400?

I must be the only person who owns a Sauvage and doesn't like it. This is mainly due to the fact that from the first time I was rained on (on duty on the catwalk of my fire lookout), it was clear that the DWR layer did not exist. I'm not sure how it could have worn away, but rain soaks into the Gore-tex membrane immediately. And this means that while the jacket is still waterproof at first, it becomes soaked-through much faster than if the DWR were not worn away.

I sent the jacket back to Moonstone, who somehow thought that putting a six inch piece of Gore-tex tape on the neck seam would solve the problem. (Yes, I wash it in TX Direct, which doesn't last very long.) I'm sorry I bought the jacket (in 1994) and wish I had something else.
