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." I even used it last year while working at Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin. Kept me dry and very comfortable in all the hard, cold rains we had there, I'm happy to report.

This year the jacket is starting to shew some "wear and tear." The TH-4 coating is starting to peel off and the hot tape on the seams are starting to tear away. I called Campmor yesterday (where I purchased it from) and they are going to exchange it for one of their house brand Storm Sphere Parkas, which is ok with me. After all I never purchase BIG name brand gear anyhow. Personally I avoid the stuff. So the Campmor brand is more than acceptable seeing it is very similar.

I must confess I will miss my Thunderlight Jacket. It served me well. Goodbye, old friend! (Sniff!)
