Does anyone have a Nitz rain jacket and what’s it really like?
I tried one on and like the way it packs down, it also appears to have a long enough tail for sitting on wet ground and glassing.
I’d say 90% of the time I wear my rain jacket is as a wind barrier, but when I wear it in the rain I expect it to stay dry, I’m less than impressed with the latest Swazi offering. Very heavy and isn’t very water proof. Maybe it needs recoating with DWR.

Ask your father. He had a smart idea. Still most dairy cockies arent stupid. Also great for that biting wind on the bike when you wave around the Murupara moonbeam.
