User Review: Red Ledge Thunderlight Parka

Red Ledge Thunderlight Parka
Above: The current Thunderlight Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Fabric: Lightweight ripstop nylon
Fill: TH-4 permeable P.U. internal coating
Price Paid: $38 at Sportsmans' Warehouse

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.

Negatives: The hood should have a visor and the neck zipper -- though acceptable -- could be made a little nicer. Although the ripstop shell is by no means flimsy, I would have preferred a heavier shell to protect against more abrasive use.

Overall: definitely worth the money and well suited for most casual-use hikers, and a nicer jacket than the Marmot Precip, which costs more.
