"As I promised here is another review. I got to use this particular rain jacket on many hikes and overnight backpack trips and the things performed wonderfully. I truly appreciate the lightness, packability, and waterproofness of the Thunderlight. Plus it is fairly "breathable."

"It seems like anything you read a review on has at least one reviewer for whom the product seemingly exploded in his face (i. e. , his hatred and disgust for the product could not be worse) and at least one reviewer for whom the product changed their life forever and now they feel complete."

"In the summer of 2004 I took this jacket on a backpacking trip to Ireland, and I was extremely disappointed. I found the jacket to be completely useless in the rain. Perhaps I just happened to get a bad one from the store, but it turned out that this material, TH-4 or not, was completely saturated by water each and every time it made contact with rain."

"Positives: This jacket is getting favorable reviews because it delivers what it promises: lightweight, breathable protection from rain. The fit is good and styling is nice. According to others I've talked with, the jacket has delivered years of good service and is backed by a good warranty."

"I took this rain jacket on our hike this week on the Old Loggers Path in north-central Pennsylvania's mountains and Tuesday morning it finally rained so I had the opportunity to put the Thunderlight Jacket to the test. I would say this is an decent rain jacket for the price I paid through Campmor and it keeps the rain off (thanks to the TH-4 waterproof/breathable coating) but I still managed to get wet from body moisture from the inside, in spite of opening the chest vents."

"Very good deal for the money. It is very breathable, but keeps the rain off well."
