Disappointed In Waterproofing

I already owned a helium rain jacket and was looking for something to travel with that was more waterproof. The description says that it is waterproof, but it is not. Works for a little while in very light rain, but anything more than that and it soaks through in certain spots pretty quickly. Would only recommend this item for a beginner looking for light wind or very light rain protection. Not rainy day hikes or travel.

Over Weight

I wanted a durable jacket that was still light weight. This jacket made a nice compromise between the two at 8.5oz and a 50 denier face fabric. Unfortunately the jacket is quite a bit overweight at 10oz making it not nearly as competitive.

Stratoburst Jacket

I use this for layering while hunting and rucking, the under pit heat vents are critical while traversing elevation and hitting different weather conditions, the fabrics do a great job of dispersing wind and water it held if in the sage and scrub on a recent elk hunt above 9k.

It's been a great windbreaker/ rain jacket so far. Lightweight and easy to pack into my bag.

Stylish Rain Gear

Maybe I'm outta date, but rain gear in the past never looked good. But this is very functional and stylish and works well as a good shell in colder weather.
