"Just about a perfect jacket all except the front hand pockets. They are a little high and awkward to get your hands in them. I have used this jacket in many hikes that has been pouring and has kept me dry all day. The double flap that covers the zipper is nice to keep the rain out."

"This jacket retails for $300 Canadian. At that price for a lightweight jacket, I would expect a gamut of high end features.

The biggest problem with this jacket is the double flap front. It seems illogical for a company like MH to sell a high end lightweight jacket without waterproof zippers."

"Overall I'm happy with the Typhoon Jacket. The quality and feel of the jacket is really good. The Pit Zips are a really good feature and I have them half open while I'm walking. The breathability of the Paclite is really good, much better than my old Gore- Tex, North Face Jacket."
