Anone else got one?
Labled as waterproof.
Bought my first one about 4-5 weeks ago, it leaked, arms and front.
I took it back last Saturday and the shop replaced it.
It rained again today, you may have noticed, the new jacket also leaked in the creases of the arms.
I rang the shop and they said I could have my money back so no loss.

Would I recommend a Joe Rocket Atomic. NO.

I went goretex and have never looked back :o bought a top quality hein gericke gore touring suit from the BMF for £20 Very Happy never failed me yet, longest journey in it was last June/July in the horrible rain. 8 hour journey to Glasgow in constant rain, didn't leak at all. (Although my non goretex trousers did = wet crotch Sad. )

Goretex is dear, but it does last and will stay waterproof. Standard waterproofs have a hydrostatic head of (i think) between 3000mm and 5000mm. Goretex has a hydrostatic head of 20000mm
