Fabric: 2-ply gore-tex
Price Paid: $80

Bought it from a friend who works at a TNF store. It was marked down to $179 because the color wasn't up to TNF standards (the red was a little darker than normal), and he gave another 50% off.

I love the jacket, except for one major complaint. When it rains everywhere stays dry, except the wrist cuffs. These become absolutely drenched. I wore it on a rain hike a week ago and the cuffs were soaked through so badly I had to put the jacket in the dryer before I went out again two hours later.

If anyone else has had this problem and found a way to stop it let me know. I'm close to sending it back to California but I'm leaving for Europe soon and I worry about it not being fixed soon enough.
