I mainly bought this jacket to keep me dry at work, but have found myself wearing it on my days off. It's a super light weight jacket thats keeps the wet Washington weather at bay.

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

I got this jacket for [$] off Steep and Cheap so I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I would say I got my money's worth. Although I was expecting something that I could trust in a decent rain, I wouldn't trust this jacket in anything more than a drizzle for more than a few minutes. The main issue is the lack of welding on the zippers, but then again it was [$]. It doesn't breathe well at all although the pit zips do help. The DWR finish was never really there to begin with. The jacket does have a nice trim fit. I mostly use this jacket as a windbreaker that has a moderate ability to fend off light rain, which it does a nice job of, or as a wind breaking layer over a fleece. I would say that if that's what you're looking for and you can get it on sale, it's not a bad purchase.

Used this on a weekend campout with the Scouts. It did a pretty nice job of keeping me dry. Unfortunately the mesh lining of the pockets wicked some water up from the bottom of the jacket which left a small part of my shirt wet.

2 of the 3 front pocket zippers are broken after less than 2 years of undemanding wear. Sierra Designs should have charged $10 more and used heavy duty models - they'd weigh a fraction of an ounce more, but I would still buy the brand.

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

I love this shell. Of course it isn't breathable, it's a single-layer hard shell. But it is amazing at keeping you dry! And I have worn the pants for climbing in the Red River Gorge and they have held up amazing to that abrasion.

I have used the pants for alpine mountaineering in the North Cascades and many Ecuadorian peaks, including Cotopaxi. Through snow, hail, rain, and Armageddon, these shells have kept me bone-dry!

I can not stress enough: I love these shells and they have proven vital to many of my summits!

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

I took this jacket and the matching pants on a golf trip in Ireland. Both served their purpose, but neither was exceptional. One issue I noticed was that some sunscreen I put on during one unexpected sunny day ended up permanently staining the jacket. Otherwise, I would say that it is a good product

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

this jacket kept me dry from rain, is super light weight, very compressable and suprisingly durable. it fits rather well and is good to have as a "just in case" jacket. my only complant is that the zippers jam up quite a bit.

overall, i think this is a good rain jacket for backpacking and for emergency siturations.

Basic Water resistant jacket

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

I was looking for a basic waterproof jacket for overnight backpacking in both 4-season temperate and desert California conditions, and am reviewing the 5 jackets I tried against that use.

This jacket, while the successor to all that I could afford in college, is a basic water resistant jacket. It is not waterproof, nor do its sales tags claim that it is. It is not very durable. The jacket pockets cannot hold a nalgene water bottle for mornings below freezing. But it is very light and it packs down incredibly small for a rain jacket.

Having said that, it might be a nice introductory rain jacket and windbreaker shell for day hikes, for college students just trying to scrape by, or for someone who needs the lightest, most compact windbreaking shell without true waterproofness.

In my 10 minute home shower test with a fresh t-shirt underneath, my belly got 70% covered with water, my sides were 10% covered with water, and my upper back was 12% covered with water.

Waterproofing weaknesses were: non-waterproofed front zipper (protected only by folds in shell material), packet zippers, and water eventually coming through the upper back material away from any seams or zippers.

General comments after testing 5 rain jackets: I found you must spend at least $200 for a jacket that is truly waterproof. Even then, expect to be wet from your own sweat in a rainstorm no matter what breathability claims the manufacturer prints. Some experienced mountaineers have told me to just buy fleece and wool midlayers that will keep you warm when wet, because you can't avoid being wet in a lengthy rainstorm.

Comments about Sierra Designs Hurricane HP Rain Jacket - Men's:

Honestly, I read the reviews on this product before I bought it. I ended up ignoring them because I've had good luck with Sierra Designs products before. That being said, this jacket doesn't breathe at all. I had the chance to wear it one day at work and I ended up being a clammy mess by the end of my shift. On my second day of owning it, I went to put it on and found that one of the pit zip seams had ripped from end to end. I took it back and got an REI Ultra Light, which I'm much happier with.
