Purchased a windproof jacket and disappointed it doesn't keep rain out? Am I missing something?

Same as most gear if you actually look at what your buying and makes sure it's suits what you what's it's all been good quality. I rate there merino have a wick hood that's been worn on almost every hunting including a guiding season in Canada that's still going with a few minor holes in the wrist. I've worn it stand alone bush bashing plenty. I've worn merino from macpac out in a trip so I'd give firstlite a thumbs up in that regard. I've had bad luck with bushbuck, kuiu, macpac and kathmandu in regards to merinos. Only the firstlite and some mons I got on clearance has lasted any significant time. I'd rate kuius pants better other gear I usually prefer mountaineering stuff like arcteryx etc.
