    The Downpour Elite Jacket is a do-it-all, workhorse waterproof and breathable hunting jacket. It's quiet, lightweight and packs down tight and disappears in the bottom of a backpack making it the perfect deerstalker or waterfowl coat. It has two lower billowed pockets that can handle a couple of boxes of 12g cartridges and a hidden chest pocket to handle callers or cell phones. This thing is the perfect all-around hunting jacket that can't be beaten on price. It looks good, it's quiet, it breathes, it has all the features and most importantly it's super waterproof.

    Trying out on farm

    After buying hunters element gear before I thought I would give this jacket a go as a replacement lightweight water proof raincoat for use on the dairy farm. First impressions are that it is nice and light but very windproof and after being in a couple of heavy downpours, I can report that it is very waterproof so far as well. Spending this amount of coin on a raincoat is not something I would have done in the past, however so far so good. Hood with the rear drawstring is a great idea. I can walk around in humid Northland conditions wearing it without getting too hot.
    Only slight concern is the zip. It is a little fiddly to start and seems very lightweight. I guess time will tell.

    Great raincoat guys

    Took my Downpour elite jacket out for it's first field outing. Very comfortable fit. Love all the pockets especially the chest side zip one. Drizzled a bit so waterproofness was not really tested. Handy that the jacket has a long cut as it covers **** when sitting on wet logs. Velcro wrist straps are very handy for locking gloves in and keeping leeches out. I look forward to testing jacket in more extreme conditions.
