Anyone have any experience with this jacket?
I wanted to get a jacket that could be layered under for the early season and a jacket that wouldn't be too hot in the summer.
Sounds like a great deal at $60.

I own one of these jackets and took it to Belize last year where it performed very well in tropical storms. High and dry in the worst of weather.
They claim it is breathable. How is it in hot weather?

I own a few of them. Wife and I both wear them. It's great in Summer. It is very breathable...doesn't cut the wind much even. Don't expect it to help keep you warm...just dry. Due to their extreme lightweight construction, they are not overly durable. But for what they are they are very well made. Just don't expect to wear it while crashing through streamside brambles. Think of it kind of like Frogg Toggs.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I purchase one 18 months ago - and it has not rained on me yet while fishing. There is a review on this website at the following link:

I purchased 2 of them when they first came out for use by clients when I'm guiding. They work well for those quick showers that have a habit of coming up in the afternoons in the Rockies, but I wouldn't use them for cold, sustained rain; got to go with Goretex then. I loaned one to LF & JC at the Idaho Fish-In this year to use one afternoon.
They're very light and fit easily into a back pocket on a vest.
