(I live in the Puget Sound area, that's a hell of a lot of rainy days!) Still going strong. The membrane is worn a bit at the neck and the waist, which I thought was weird, but then I realized it's from helmet strap rub and a the waistband of my pack. I should refresh the DWR coating to have the water bead up better on the surface of the jacket, but it's still doing a good job on keeping me dry.<br /><br />I still really, really like this jacket. Christine commutes daily in hers as well.Kent Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607372827627527450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-52034854467486935782010-11-13T03:44:39.661-08:002010-11-13T03:44:39.661-08:00Now I wish to have that jacket with me as I have o...Now I wish to have that jacket with me as I have one jacket along with me and I use it in cold.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackets4bikes.com" rel="nofollow">Motorcycle Leather Jacket</a>Fakharuddin40https://www.blogger.com/profile/02556875981852446064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-29062668020994768292010-07-14T10:51:58.770-07:002010-07-14T10:51:58.770-07:00Please keep us up to date with how this wears for ...Please keep us up to date with how this wears for you. It looks very similar to the Marmot Precip, but I had problems with the waterproof membrane on the Marmot jacket wearing very quickly.<br /><br />If this can perform well and lasts more than a year then it would be a good replacement for my $40 O2Wear paper-like but very functional rain jacket.alex wetmorehttp://alexwetmore.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-42385401953868383722010-07-14T08:25:12.537-07:002010-07-14T08:25:12.537-07:00Thanks for including your friend's comment abo...Thanks for including your friend's comment about rain jackets doing one or the other but not both. That's been my experience too. I love big pit zips too. <br /><br />I was saving up for one of the (manufacturer's claimed) better-than-GORETEX REI-brand eVent jackets but had to settle for something else recently since the washing machine ate up my Helly Hansen jacket :(Nate Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552680485204657469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-69388491656728026222010-07-14T05:32:39.994-07:002010-07-14T05:32:39.994-07:00I read this as 'Patagonia Tortoiseshell Jacket...I read this as 'Patagonia Tortoiseshell Jacket'<br /><br />Thanks for the recent hydration report. I'm looking to replace my old Pur pump filter... been debating between the Steripen and an inline or gravity filter. I'll give more thought to the Sawyer now.mikehttp://www.littlecirclesvt.comnoreply@blogger.com
