    Rook, that is the jacket that the Packa will be made from. He just needs to add the pack cover but he is offering it as a jacket only also. He said he needs about a day to add the pack cover.

    do you think the cuben will be warmer than the Silnylon? because that itself it very hot!

    I used the Packa for three weeks in Maine in June 2009. It rained almost every day. It was not hot, in fact I appreciated the warmth. IMOP rain gear is more about keeping you warm than keeping you dry. I prefer to be wet with perspiration than cold rain. I also carried a small umbrella on that trip and used it for when it was only light rain which was not that often.
