Yeah I've got one. It'll hold up strong in light to medium rain. Once it starts pouring though, it'll wet out in about 30 minutes. Of course b/c of the fabric, it's not really breathable, but you can vent well with the full zip, and you can't beat the lightweight. Also the hood does not have any type of cinching system so it'll blow off pretty easy in a strong wind.
