My Review of Sierra Designs Hurricane LT Parka – Men’s
Posted by Tim Foley on August 11th, 2008
The Hurricane LT Parka is a lightweight option that protects you from rain, breathes and packs down small.
Great Jacket, Great Deal
Fit: Feels true to size
Sleeve Length: Feels true to length
Chest Size: Feels true to size
Pros: Lightweight, Breathable, Waterproof, Good Value
Cons: Hood too short
Best Uses: Wet Weather, Probably going to rain
Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational
I picked up this jacket as something to keep in my bag when I think it’ll probably be a wet day, nothing torrential mind you — just wet. So far it’s been great as a light weight waterproof breathable rain jacket.
My only complaint: I bought a small because I’m skinny, and the jacket didn’t feel too short when I tried it on (the sleeves were right-on), but when I put the hood up it pulled up the rest of the jacket. Maybe I just have a tall neck, but this means for me that when it’s really raining, I can’t comfortably use the hood.
Overall, it’s a great jacket for rainy weather, but I’ve got another heavier-duty coat for when it’s really pouring.
