I purchased this jacket from Bass Pro over the winter and finally had my first chance to test it out the first week of April for trout fishing opener. I stood out in a steady rain for 2.5 hours and got wet. I was really disappointed as this was a piece of gear I had hoped to use on my boundary waters trips this year but now I will be forced to go find a new one. I considered treating it with nikwash but on further thought, why should I have to treat a brand new jacket when it should hold up for more than a couple of hours in light rain.

This is a decent raincoat they say that's watertight however I was in a heavy torrential downpour today here in the Pacific Northwest My shirt was soaked and the seams of the coat towards the bottom were soaked The coat was unable to stay dry at the bottom it cannot withstand the amount of water that was dripping down it and the wetness was slowly working its way upward but for light rain or light drizzles or medium rain it's a decent count I would still recommend it but however it does need some work.

I expect when I see the words

I wore this jacket during a light rain while walking my dogs and was soaked to the skin after twenty minutes. Where did it get all those five star reviews from? Does the designer have that many brother in laws. This jacket is all but new and is totally inadequate for the purpose I purchased it for.

Great rain jacket ! Waterproof and comfortable! Definitely worth the money and yes love the color.
