Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - Men's

Super light packs up small and keeps me dry. Im 6'0 160 and I went with the large.

I was curious about weight for this so I called Sierra designs about it. A medium weighs 15 oz. they told me. Just in case others were curious as well...

I purchased the jacket about a month ago and it was a great purchase. I picked it up for about $45 and to me that was worth it. I have taken it out in some light rain, and worn it while I kayak and it has kept me dry. Great jacket!

Had some problems with the zipper splitting on the underarm vents. Seems to be ok now. Fairly satisfied with the product. Functionality is great for the price

I choose this jacket because it was inexpensive, and had pockets and a hood. This little jacket has exceeded my expectations. I love how compact it is. I keep it in the water bottle pocket of my bag. As a student in Boston, I never know when it may start raining, so its storability is super handy.

I recently wore this jacket to rugby practice, and when it started to rain, I threw it over my backpack. For two and a half hours, it poured. My backpack was dry as a bone.

This jacket is as practical, durable, and waterproof as ones three times the price.

got this for my PA AT trip good thing because Tropical storm lea came rolling in on day 3-5 jacket worked great kept me dry threw the down pours my lower arms where a little wet but that was probably from the pit zips that where open. Other than that light weight packs small. Im 5'6" 130lb and a small fits great

I got mine from the Sierra D outlet - obnoxious red was on clearance for $30! I was a bit hesitant about the loud color, but I've turned out to really love this jacket. I'm 6'3", 170lb and the medium works great for me, even with room for a fleece. It's super-light and has a stuff sack, so I can take it about anywhere. In moderately heavy rain with a heavy pack, I've seen the shoulders seep enough to turn dark red but not get me wet. 3 pockets are a plus, pit zips a must. Material feels sturdy, though not quite as much so as my buddy's mountain hardwear epic jacket.
Highly recommended!
Highly recommended

My wife just got the 2011 Marmot Precip and was showing me all the bell and whistles, when I realized my Hurricane had all the same things. I got my jacket last minute, and did not realize the quality I had. I am 5'11 and 170ish, and normally have a layer on underneath, and it fits super comfortably and keeps the rain out. Packs super small in its own bag, which can be doubled as a water resistant storage bag.

I highly recommend this jacket

The se Jacket does the Work, it is super light and it packs in a super small bag that you can fold and keep in a pocket, it will protect you from the rain and it will dry super fast , it also have some zippers under your arm pit that allows air to flow freely, or just open the pockets for just some air to pass, the only problem that i see is that when exercising sweat can condense pretty fast but for the rest it is great it has a chest pocket that have a headphones access to the inside and it looks great!!

First off,....what up? Anyway, this jacket is affordable and performs just how you need for a light weight and very packable jacket. Jackets below this range are cheaper but don't have the specs and their performance can't hang. The more expensive jackets are for the super serious hard core folks and the price could afford you a retired nasa space shuttle. If you're like me and need something that performs seriously but without going into the extreme performance range, or the extreme price range, then this is exactly what you need. Lots of protection, pockets, vents, stash bag, sinch cords mp3 pocket and convenience hidden hole, etc, etc, etc. Killer buy. DO IT!!!

Pros: keeps you dry, has pit vents, material is pretty solid, and has a slimmer fit.

Cons: material is a little sticky when putting your arms into the sleeves, sleeves are always tight at the cuff.

this guy kept me bone dry during the maroon bells' monsoon season while doing the 4 pass loop, and for that I am grateful. i use this jacket far more often than i expected to, and believe it a great jacket for the price. the only complaints (and why 4 not 5 stars) is that the hood is quite small, and and DWR seems to be wearing off quickly. 6'2" 175 and the large fits well, maybe a bit baggy, but nice for layering underneath...

First off, this is not a "bombproof" rain jacket. It's not your end-all be-all of waterproofness.
That being said, for the price this is one of the best rain jackets you can buy. The features on this jacket are really dialed in: reinforced storm hood with plenty of room but not too big, longer backside to cover the butt, underarm zips to dump extra heat and humidity. It also packs small (smaller than a nalgene if you're good) and is lightweight, so there's no excuse to not bring it on your next trip. The fit is good too, I'm 5'10 145lbs and a medium fits well with room for layering.
If you're in the rain all day then keep looking and spend a little more money. But for a lightweight insurance policy against sporadic storms and mountain wind, there's no better (or cheaper) jacket.

I have used this in a few rainstorms, nothing too serious, but it held up great. The construction quality is good, and I didn't notice any leaking on or around seams. The hood is a little big, but is probably great for use with a helmet. I am 6 foot 165 pounds. I went with a Large because I have abnormally long arms. The overal fit is a little baggier than I was hoping for, but the sleeve length is good. Drawstring around waist is nice and hand pockets are a good feature as well, without adding too much weight.

not very breathable, but i got it on s&c for a good price. worked fine thus far in light rain, but i don't see a problem with it working in a downpour, everything is sealed. Jacket's look surprised me, it looked a lot better than I thought it would. SIZING: I'm usually sort of inbetween medium and large sizes for everything. I'm a guy, 6 feet tall(exactly, without shoes), wingspan about 6-2. 175 pounds, and I got a Large, it's a perfect fit for me. So it's on the smaller side, sizing wise.
