I don't own one, so you can ignore my post if you like. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I found they had too many zippers for my taste; these add weight & bulk, and are another way for wetness to soak in. If a rainjacket is breatheable enough, it shouldn't need extra vents.

I hear about how they wear out after a few years, but my experience is that all lightweight raingear does that.
