FROGG TOGGS Mens Xtreme Lite Packable Waterproof Breathable Rain Jacket

I hike. I'm 67 years old. Over the past many months, I have spent hundreds of dollars on rain and winter gear for my three sons and me. I came across this jacket next. Would $35 be a good price? I don't know whether it is Marmot, Columbia, or If you wish, you can shop at Patagonia, REI or LL Bean. There is no way this is going to be a smart purchase, so I figured. What a surprise! This is the best outer layer for winter, and especially the best rain wear that I have ever owned. The stuff I review doesn't get reviewed by me. It's not for me to get paid, and I have no idea who these people are. Nevertheless, when you come across something this good for such a low price, you should tell your friends and neighbors. My jacket is too warm for me to remove it. The feeling is like getting a warm hug. When they say "bone dry", It is possible to tighten up the sleeves and waistband so that no water, and no cold air, gets It was remarkable to find something of this quality for such a low price. As well as weighing about the same as a tissue, it has a very soft texture. The Frogg Togger coats are hands down the best. After experiencing them I am a Frogg Togger for life.

A backpacking trip of four days and three nights in southwestern Pennsylvania was used to test the jacket. The high temperature will be in the 70s and the low temperature will be On two of the four days, there was heavy rainfall/storms. The pros are Approximately 8 ounces). Water does not seem to be an issue with this material. It is windproof. It's a medium fit good enough that I could wear a light insulating layer underneath. I'm 6'1", 175 pounds, 34" waist. The cons are On the exterior of the jacket, seams are taped. There are some seams in the jacket that are not sealed or taped, including the waist, wrist, front zipper, hood brim, and sleeve cuffs. The pit zips must be left off A 1/4" grommet is grommeted in only two of the small vents (one per side). The best rain shell for backpacking is not one that resembles a shell for surfing. The garments are available in different degrees of durability, weight, and price. Bulky and heavy models can be expensive, while lightweight models can be cheap but fragile. DWR coatings eventually fail and the shell absorbs water and becomes heavy (potentially hazardous depending on the temperature). All of them do not breathe well, especially while under load and moderate exertion. My specific experience with this jacket is that it submerged quickly during prolonged periods of heavy rain because the seams in it were untied and unsealed. I pulled my jacket back off when I got into camp to shake it to dry, and it was "heavy" around Every area of my wrists, waist, and brim was saturated, and I literally had to wring every drop of water out of each of them. While purchasing this jacket, I wanted a lightweight and waterproof shell that would also be warm and comfortable It may not be able to breathe well knowing this. The best times for me to backpack are in the late fall, winter, and early spring, so keeping dry is essential to my I just got my "Frogg Toggs. " If this is a fluke, or if there is something I can do to seal these seam areas, I would appreciate any recommendations. I'm not sure if I'll keep this one in my pack if everything else goes well. There may be two. This is a five star review.

It is exactly what I was looking for. It costs only $24 for a semi-truck We ought to keep disposable jackets that don't rely on DWR, which quickly wears away and is always going to deteriorate. My opinion is that breathability is not an important feature Whenever I have ever used a goretex jacket, I simply held too much moisture in. I'm looking forward to remaining completely dry since this will do the job. It will protect you at least from rain . During aerobic activity, you will sweat just like in any other jacket. This medium works well for me since I wear medium shirts and jackets. It is a little bigger so that I can fit a fleece jacket and maybe even a down jacket underneath if needed. A perfect length is achieved for the sleeves, and the hood fits well. It is far from the oddest of all This garbage bag style looks good with the rest of the Frogg Toggs clothing. I bought this jacket for around $50, which is basically a super-cheap version of the $150 jackets I own from Marmot and Outdoor Research. The latter still have their place and this is not a replacement in the sense of eliminating them completely. The weight on my scale was 85oz. I saved up to 5oz by switching from my usual rain jacket to this one That's what I get excited about when I'm trying to cut weight for backpacking. *Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share because I have no time to do what I want to do tonight. Although the 1993 jacket was blue, the 1994 jacket wished for the green/yellow zipper to return. This is horrifying!.

Over a hot and humid typhoon season, our family spent a month travelling around Japan. It was very hard for us not to get them because they had a few *++ Lightweight (measured weight of 7. 75 oz. 2 oz/7 oz. For M/L)+ Compact (1/3 the packed size of our GoreTex jackets)+ 100% waterproof (will never wick water away or not dry out)+ A good windbreaker despite being well made and lightweight. They have handy features like quality zippers, zippered pockets, elastic drawstring waist with decent barrel adjusters, taped seams, and a hood that can be adjusted. In addition to being very wet, our trip was also very windy. Every day there was rain and a few really heavy downpours. We carried these with us in our backpacks every day. Their small size and light weight were extremely useful. In spite of that, they appear to be in perfect condition after weeks of daily use. Here are a few minor complaints In order to say that something is totally waterproof, it must be non-permeable A breathable material. While we went hiking during the monsoon season, we grew very sweaty. These things would be perfect with This is a placeholder page for J. Ronald Haft. The outfit is not at all stylish. Although these are fine for the backcountry, they stand out far too much in downtown Tokyo. They are made from bright zippers and translucent material. This is a placeholder page for J. Ronald Haft. It is sized for people who are big. It was a bit wide on us. A 6'0" 145lb woman wore a large fine (without a baby, she wore a medium as well). Both of us are tall and the fit was oversize. You need to size This is a placeholder page for J. Ronald Haft. They were all great and reliable pieces of gear - Overall I am very satisfied with them. When you consider the cost of lightweight rain jackets, this is an amazing deal. In a heartbeat, I would buy a pair of rainpants if they ever come out. (Kind of hard to tell with all the great detail, but I deduct one star because that pit zipper is missing.
