I bought this jacket while in the Army stationed at Ft. Benning, Ga. If you know the rainstorms that Georgia gets then you know what I'm talking about. I stood out in an hour rainstorm and not one drop of water made it through this jacket. I then got an idea--see if hot water can make it through the fabric of this jacket. I took it in the shower put it on as hot as I could stand and stood there for ten minutes....no water got in. I snowboarded in it all last winter and didn't get cold or wet. I then bought a North Face vest that zips into it and wore it at Mt. Hood, Oregon. The weather was 30-34 degrees F. with a wind chill up to negative 20 degrees F. I weigh 150 lbs with little body fat and wore that jacket with the vest and a t-shirt and didn't get cold. If you're looking for a great jacket with great features the The North Face Mountian Light Jacket is the one for you.
