The Upside:
We bought these Cold Storage Rain Jackets ourselves in case of a down pour, I tested them out and they worked amazing. What we liked the most was the teflon tape used to seal all the seam inside the jacket, the mesh inner lining, and it comes in sizes for tall men which is a really tough size to find. For the price you just can't beat it. Got Aaron the Olive color and black for myself (per his request). So, this jacket is a little heavy but I will gladly take a little extra weight for more durability and for the price you just cannot beat this jacket. I wanted to buy a Mountain Hardware Jacket for the two of us but didn't have a spare $400-600 laying around to afford it so we went on the cheap for this trip and paid only $24 for each jacket. Zippers work awesome, and the hood is large enough to cover our XL heads.
The Downside:
There are only two things I don't like about these jackets: 1) They don't ventilate as well as I would like. 2) It does not cover your mouth and up to your nose when it is zipped up which I like but these two things are a small trade-off for the price. The jacket also has a bit of a chemical smell from the waterproofing agent used. SierraTradingPost.com also has a 100% satisfaction return policy so if we have any issues, we will return them.
