I wonder how that hydrophillic coated fabric stands up to the salt? If it's anything like Gore-tex I would suspect not very long. Looks good though.
Are you saying that Gore-Tex doesn't stand up to salt water? I've been considering getting a new foul weather jacket and wonder if a Gore-Tex one is good or as you suggest, that it doesn't stand up to the salt. Curious . . .
#^^^^^^&, I looked at that product...the one thing that caught my eye was:
"Water-resistant front zip" hmmm....don't think "resistant" is going to cut it. That zipper is a source for water to get you wet and cold.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
You could borrow John's Hurricane top to try...on second thought it may be a little big. They are the nutz when it gets a little cold. Only drawback is that it isn't breathable.
