What owners single out
In their words
“Purchased for a trip to Europe after resisting spending $$ on a rain jacket for years due to a few bad experiences with other jackets, and I regret not getting this one earlier. I ended up using it frequently with the Alpine afternoon storms and loved every minute of it. My wife is now ordering one because she liked it better than the one she borrowed from a friend that cost over twice as much.”
