2.0 out of 5 stars falls apart way too easily; not good for cycle-commuting, November 25, 2005

I thought this jacket was too good to be true when I bought the hoodless, cycling version, and indeed, it was. Yes, it's inexpensive, light, packable, keeps rain out, surprisingly breathable, and even U.S.-made. The fuzzy liner keeps the jacket from sticking to your arms. However, for regular, rainy-day commuting (as in Seattle), this jacket is just way too fragile and barely lasted me a couple months. The outer, pored layer is extremely thin and fragile. Unlike ripstop nylon, once it starts ripping, it's hard to stop, and it's easy to rip this stuff. Let's just say you should make sure to have your fingernails filed before handling it, and I recommend against tossing it in your pannier without the protection of a plastic bag. Given its short useful life, I'm not really sure if this jacket is good for anybody's needs...definitely not for commuters. I bit the bullet and went for a Burley jacket and couldn't be happier...well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, high quality, inexpensive, December 22, 2004

Few products meet the expectations you have when initially purchased. For the elite few, you don't forget them. This jacket is one of mine...

I bought this jacket two years ago as I was reducing the weight of my backpack equipment but not willing to spend hundreds of dollars for designer label. The jacket is unbelievably light, works as expected, and is more breathable than any jacket I've ever worn. It performed well during an all day drizzle and at various times of heavy rain.

You won't want to wear it as a fashion statement.

An interesting aside: My wife found it in my closet one day and used it on a day trip to the zoo. It took me two months to wrestle it back from her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and very functional but not sturdy, July 11, 2005

This is a great jacket to stuff in your bag to have on hand. Extremely lightweight and VERY waterproof, but also breatheable, so you don't get horribly hot when you wear it while biking. At the same time, it keeps you warm on a chilly morning. The only (and rather serious) trade off for this deal is that the jacket rips pretty easily. The material is not terribly sturdy so if you wear this jacket a lot, you are likely to shred it within a season as I did. At the price, it isn't hard to replace each season, but I wish I didn't have to replace it all the time.
