GoLite

GoLite is having their warehouse sale. I was able to go on Friday and pick up some neat things
GoLite Wind jacket. It only weights 3 oz and packs to a little bit larger then a cigarette pack.


GoLite Gauntlet Jacket. This is labeled as both waterproof and DWR(Durable Weather Resistant). The grey parts of the jacket are waterproof the blue parts are DWR (water resistance only). They do this because the jacket is less expensive, breaths better in the DWR area and hey it even looks good. Seams are taped, the hood is zip off and has a very easy to use draw cord. It also has a hem draw cord, but I have not tried that yet. Also you will notice the pit zips, a must have feature. I took it out for an hour and a half walk in the rain today (light and constant), and it kept me dry but the DWR was starting to have water seep in. A 20 minute car ride later and the jacket was dry on the outside, still a bit damp on the inside. I should mention that the pockets are lined and very nice. Over all I like the jacket, but it good to know its limitations.
