Golfing Rain Gear
It shipped fine and the size for the jacket portion is fine... though when you zip it up it kind of bulges on the bottom front because of all the zipper pockets they have all in the front.
Unlike a lot of other Jackets that do not zip up very far, I like how this zips up further and can act like a balaclava unlike the other jackets that claim it and do not even cover past the chin. This one actually covers past the chin and up to the tip of the nose. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the balaclava part. Gore-Tex materials are typically based on thermo-mechanically expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other fluoropolymer products. They are used in a wide variety of applications such as high performance fabrics, medical implants, filter media, insulation for wires and cables, gaskets, and sealants. However, Gore-Tex fabric is best known for its use in protective, yet breathable, rainwear.The simplest sort of rain wear is a two layer sandwich. The outer layer is typically nylon or polyester and provides strength. The inner one is polyurethane (abbreviated: PU), and provides water resistance, at the cost of breathability.Early Gore-Tex fabric replaced the inner layer of PU with a thin, porous fluoropolymer membrane (Teflon) coating that is bonded to a fabric. This membrane had about 9 billion pores per square inch (around 1.4 billion pores per square centimeter). Each pore is approximately 1/20,000 the size of a water droplet, making it impenetrable to liquid water while still allowing the more autonomous
