    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.

      This is my second one of these, wore the last one

      This is my second one of these, wore the last one out. Zipper and Velcro failed before the rest of the jacket. Great lighter jacked for hunting in Fiordland. Very waterproof.

      Downpour elite jacket ticks all the boxes!

      Great lightweight garment. Strong material, love the double zipper for leg movement.

      Nice sizing for building layers underneath. I was a tad surprised though that it didn’t have a long tail as was depicted in the description photo.

      Looking forward to a dry winter now, thanks again team!

      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
