"I bought my first Storm Jacket in 1990. At the time it was what I found to be the best waterproof available. It was for a couple years. Then the jacket started to have flakey stuff peel off on the inside. Sent it back. They sent another. Wore it a while, zippers broke, was getting wet in it."

"Sorry, this is the best rain jacket I have. It's three years old and I have used it hard. Because of its weight I don't use it skiing, but the other three months this thing rules. My Arc'Teryx Sidewinder get eaten by this (both in the olive green:-)."

"I have owned a Storm Jacket for over eight years and apart from the outdated color scheme, the jacket is in fantastic shape. It has taken me through drenching rain and freezing cold from climbing trips in West Virginia to weird western atmospheric fluctuations."

"There appears to be a lot of reviewers out there unimpressed with the Storm Jacket. Mine was the best jacket I ever had. Good fit, light and flexible for everyday wear. Also tough, I'd trashed gore-tex jackets by berghaus and north face in a single scottish winter, but the storm jacket coped with over four years climbing/backpacking abuse, as well as the odd bicycle crash."

"All right, there’s been a lot of talk about this jacket not being waterproof, some incredibly cheap jackets being bone-dry, etc. So I decided to make a test of three similarly priced but differently constructed shells that I happen to own.
The contestants are:
• 98 Patagonia Storm Jacket
Fabric: 2-Ply Mid Weight Taslanized Nylon
Barrier: H2NO Storm Coating
Lining: Mesh and Nylon Taffeta
Weight: 25oz."

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Oct 08, 1999
"I must agree with other reviews (Dangerousdave and others). The Patagonia Storm is not a jacket that can match “storm’ Patagonia standards.
It is light, nice, well made, but it is also very easy to rip it (as others have noticed). After a few minutes rain or wet snow (say, not more than 15-20), the external fabric gets soaked, and the jacket, that has a low breathability compared with others I own (mainly Gore-tex, but also Sympatex), becomes absolutely not breathable."

"The previous reviewer trashed the classic Patagonia Storm, so I'm going to stand up for it. I have a 6 year old Storm that has been all over the world with me. A few weeks ago, my son and I travelled to Newfoundland to camp in that province's MAGNIFICENT Gros Morne National Park."

"I returned the Patagonia Storm jacket several months ago for good reasons. . . . Although one of the nicer looking coats out there, The Storm isn't for outdoor use. . . . Didn't breath well and didn't keep out the wet. A couple of other reviewers (the later ones) have said it all about the Storm."

"Don't let the name fool you. . . this is NOT a storm jacket. Calling it a cast-iron garment (as they actually do) is a joke. . . or should I say a pure lie.
It is, however, a rather nice piece of textile for those everyday adventures of life. ."

"After my beloved Super Pluma parka was stolen in the middle of a Montana winter, I went to the Patagonia outlet store to pick up either a Torre or Triolet Parka, but they didn't have any except in size XS, so I had to settle on a lowly Storm Jacket--no pit zips, old-style two layer construction with a liner--but I just needed something for lift-served telemarking and day-long ski tours."

"Junk. I have bought Patagonia gear since 1974, but the absolute and total failure of this product indicates that the fine folks in Ventura are more concerned with designing politically correct jeans that will save the world than they are producing an "iconic" product that works."

"DURABLE! The Toyota pickup of outer shells. I've used this jacket in downpours, as a picnic blanket, a shell for skiing-camping-cruising around town, even tied it around my waist and used it as a sled for sliding down Mt. Superior, UT. It's as wp/br as any shell you'll find, and twice as rugged and durable."

"This jacket is the nicest jacket I have ever had. It can protect you from any type of weather that the earth has to offer. It does not protect against the cold, but when wearing a Patagonia fleece inside it is perfect."

"Like any other piece of Patagonia gear this jacket is excellent. It does not breathe as well as some other fabrics but is outstanding in quality. Mine was replaced under warranty with no hassle from the company. What an excellent company to deal with but some of their prices have got a bit high if you compare similar products against other manufacturers."

"The jacket is a pretty nice jacket. It is great at keeping out rain, wind, and snow. It is kind of expensive, but is worth it. The H2NO storm fabric actually works as good or better than my brother's North Face Mountain Ligh jacket, which uses Gore Tex, and for some reason, bleeds the color. One drawback I have encountered is the absence of underarm zippers."

"This jacket is incredible. It is a bit expensive but it is worth it. It is absolutely completely waterproof and is extremely tough. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. The only problem that I had with it was the fact that it doesn't have pit zips, but the pockets are pretty good for ventilation anyway."
