Joaquin (verified owner) –
Overall excellent product with a few shortcomings.
The good: really quite waterproof, more comfortable than Gore-Tex, good weather protection, orange color helps me not get shot when hiking during hunting season, very breathable, good pockets, well-priced for Ventile.
The bad: the drawstring system is a bit annoying (especially the bottom cinch, which hangs low and is easily tangled, also is funny looking to see it dangling between the legs), the hood opening could be wider (sometimes it is hard to get the hood on due to the design), relatively amorphous shape sometimes feels baggy in the wrong places (especially the arms), no side zip for ventilation (probably would raise the cost a lot).
Overall, I am content with this piece, and my fancy Arcteryx waterproof has been mostly displaced. Especially good for longer walks on cold days where rain is likely or certain. I’ve walked 1.5 hours in the rain with this and not gotten wet underneath.
With some very slight adjustments, this would be a 5/5 piece. However, I am sure the price would have to go up to make these (better cinch system, size zip, a more adjustable collar). Good deal for cold and wet weather!
