I have had this jacket for 5 years. I use it for rain gear only with north face pants. I never use the hood as my sport is bikes. I have found this to be the best rain gear I could get after trying several other options. On one trip several of us were forced to ride home in the rain for nine hours (because of time it was a sunday work on monday). I was still dry and the others were wet to the skin. A motorcycle going 60 mph in the rain is very hard way to stay dry. On another trip out west I ran into a hail storm by the time we could find cover we were getting hail as large as a dime hitting us the rain gear held up fine. Thou I had bruises from the hail stones. One thing I can not find is gloves that will not soak thru any one found anything that works for them. I am using a gore-tex glove made by bert brant they are good for a hour to 2 hours before they soak thru. The only problem with the north face is the pants are slow it get on and the zippers snag some. Others have told me to try seal skin gloves a brand name for rubber diving gloves any compents out there on them. have a good day and stay dry.
