    This is something I take in case I get caught out in an unexpected shower or similar, it's light andpacks down small enough to fit in my pocket.
    I wouldn't count on it keeping me dry heading out into piss wet conditions or if I intended to be in the rain all day.
    This is just a it's small enough and light enogh that I can always carry it option.
    I used it the other day when I was tahr hunting whilst we were sitting glassing and it was fine as a wind barrier.
    As stated not ideal for all day wet conditions
    I was in context, you just didn't read it
